LITITZ, Pa., Jan. 28, 2010 – Horticultural educator and greening expert William Moss has partnered with Safer® Brand to launch MyOrganicGardeningBlog.com and the collaboration will produce a rich resource to which organic gardeners everywhere can contribute.
 Unveiled today, MyOrganicGardeningBlog.com will provide helpful hints from Safer Brand’s own organic gardening experts, along with extensive gardening and greening information Moss has compiled from his years of environmental studies and gardening experiments in urban, suburban and natural areas. The site also allows gardeners to learn from each other by discussing organic gardening and submitting their own posts to MyOrganicGardeningBlog.com.
Moss, who travels the country providing workshops and seminars on a variety of gardening and greening topics and frequently serves as guest expert for local and national news networks, decided to partner with Safer Brand because of the company’s overarching concern for the ecological impact of its products, which complements Moss’s own mission of educating and inspiring people to improve their landscape to benefit themselves, their communities an d the environment.
“Safer Brand shares some of the same concerns and actively strives to raise the bar,” Moss explained. “They hold themselves and their competitors accountable to greener standards by providing products that are OMRI listed® and by actively promoting OMRI standards.”
MyOrganicGardeningBlog.com also features regular posts by members of the Safer Brand team. Their expertise is diverse: The team includes an entomologist with years of professional pest control experience, a Ph.D. in plant pathology and a marketing professional who simply states, “The lawn is my turf.” One quality they all have in common, however, is a love for nature and a commitment to organic gardening and lawn care.
Like the Safer Brand team, Moss hopes MyOrganicGardeningBlog.com will inspire more people to try their hand at organic gardening and greening their suburban or urban spaces. “I love encouraging people to be more actively involved outdoors with their community,” Moss said. “Raising our collective consciousness and teaching people what they personally can do to be better stewards of their environment is exciting. Using greener methods and best management practices reduces negative impact on the environment -- and what’s good for the environment is good for its inhabitants.”
