We're celebrating the start of the growing season by declaring April Organic Gardening Month! Join us by taking our Organic Garden Pledge to make your garden toxic free!

This month, Toxic Free NC is celebrating the start of spring gardening season by ramping up efforts to help home and community gardeners around North Carolina grow the healthiest, safest food they possibly can – without hazardous pesticides.

We want more people in North Carolina – especially pregnant women and young children – to have access to fresh, local and ORGANIC food grown without toxic chemicals. It’s a tall order and we have a lot of work to do to make it happen.

Making our own home and community gardens toxic free is the first step. Take the Organic Garden Pledge today!

We truly believe that organic food is for everyone - no matter your income level. The more we learn about how exposure to pesticides harms us, the more convinced we are that everyone should be eating organic food. From lowered IQs and poisoned pets to polluted soil and water, growing food with hazardous chemicals is a harmful practice whose time has passed.

That's why we're asking you to take action and sign our Organic Garden Pledge. Making our own home and community gardens pesticide-free is a great way to start making delicious, healthy and organic food more available to everyone!

Want to do more to help spread the word about Organic Gardening Month? Support our work with a donation, or invite us to come provide a workshop for your school or church garden!

And don't forget to tell all your friends and neighbors about Organic Gardening Month!
