INTRODUCING THE YARD ENTHUSIASTS OF AMERICA

YEA! New Web site for Yard Enthusiasts Launched by Project EverGreen

If you like to work in your yard, you’ll love YEA!, a new and lively online community designed to provide information for and interaction among yard enthusiasts nationwide. Appropriately, the YEA! (Yard Enthusiasts of America) Web site was launched on the first day of spring and is sponsored by Project EverGreen, a national non-profit advocate for the benefits of well-maintained green space. YEA! can be accessed at www.yardenthusiasts.com.

Den Gardner, executive director of Project EverGreen, described YEA! as “a gathering place for anyone who wants to learn about and talk about what’s happening in yards nationwide.” He indicated the new Web site will provide a wealth of opportunities to learn about and share information including:

• Lawn and garden tips
• Forums in which yard enthusiasts can share their favorite methods for beautifying green space
• Blogs about lawn and garden experience/techniques
• Opportunities to share photos
• Contests to win valuable lawn and garden equipment and supplies. As an example of the significant prizes being provided by Project EverGreen supporters, a new LESCO spreader will go to the winner of the first contest.

In addition, Gardner said, visitors who access Yardenthusiasts.com can sign-up for a free newsletter which will be e-mailed every two months.
