For a healthy garden

Mulch for beautiful plants, trees & healthy soil.

Get it before it’s gone! Mandatory water restrictions may be coming soon — now is the time to prepare and save your landscape. See restrictions

Note: Our micro mulch is available during fall and winter. As commercial demand for mulch & soil amendments begin in spring for the planting season, mulch availability tightens and market prices rise significantly. Our non-profit can't afford to purchase and give away the mulch at higher peak season prices.
Update: We’ve set aside additional funding to keep the program going as long as possible. With such a dry rainy season and the snowpack being so low this year, we felt it was especially important to support water conservation and help plants and trees survive through the coming dry months.

Triple screened micro-mulch will make your garden look amazing!

Gardens thrive with all natural triple screened micro mulch

Save with Mulching

Laying mulch is great for the soil, stopping weeds, saving water, time, and money. Microbes in the soil will break down the nutrients in our all natural mulch and make it readily available for your plants to thrive. Mulching locks in moisture so it doesn't evaporate quickly saving water and money.

Stress is the #1 killer

Moisture loss is the number one cause of stress in plants and trees. Micro mulch can help your garden retain moisture and reduce stress. Moisture stress causes plants and trees to lose foliage in order to conserve water. Once moisture returns they try to recover the loss in foliage. This seesaw effect causes a lot of stress and damage to your garden. 250,000,000 trees have died in California in the last 8 years because of drought stress.

Gardens thrive from the soil up

Healthy gardens start with healthy soil. Healthy soil begins with organic material decomposing to become food for your garden. Micro mulch is perfect soil food. Micro mulch traps moisture in at soil level. That moisture is needed for soil microbes to break down the micro mulch and turn it into food for your garden. Additionally soil dwellers like worms will consume the organic material creating more food for your garden. Keeping your garden healthy will benefit us all. Making our cities cooler, improving air quality and providing food and habitat for wildlife.


Starving your garden?

Plants & soil need food. When you remove your organic debris you're starving your garden. Our all-natural micro mulch is a blend of plant species designed to restore a wide range of minerals and organic matter. Free of dyes, it’s rich in beneficial microbes that support healthy soil life. Plants and trees absorb minerals from microbes in the soil. They use the minerals to grow and store them in their leaves and branches. When those leaves and branches fall, they return those minerals to the soil. By removing this organic material, you're also removing valuable nutrients your garden needs to thrive. Our micro-mulch can quickly replenish nutrients and looks great.

Essential minerals

Minerals play a vital role in soil health, as plants absorb them to support growth. Micro mulch helps retain these essential minerals and moisture, making it an excellent long-term, all-natural food source for both your soil and plants. Soil is teeming with life—just one teaspoon contains more microbes than there are people on Earth! These microscopic organisms break down organic matter, turning it into valuable nutrients that feed your garden naturally.

Every gallon you let evaporate today is a gallon we will have to filter out of sewage tomorrow. Mulch your plants. Do your part to stop the collapse of our fresh water supply before recycled waste is all that’s left to drink and shower in! Do you think our neighborhoods will stay 'prime real estate' once we’re drinking and showering in treated waste? Mulch your garden, protect our resources, and save your home value. If we don't act today, we won't just be showering in it; we’ll be fighting for it.

  • This micro mulch is designed to immediately improve your soil health as soon as it's applied.
      • âś… Soil-Boosting Benefits
      âś… Water-Wise Solution
      âś… Great for Trees, Veggies & More

  • Our mulch is heat-seasoned to over 120°F, ensuring that seeds, parasites, and insects are eliminated, giving your garden a clean, healthy start.

  • This is a limited-time offer to promote sustainable gardening practices, conserve water, and support thriving gardens in our community.

  • Good to know: All mulch is made from recycled green waste—no trees are cut down to produce mulch. As green waste it can include a broad spectrum of species. What sets mulches apart is how the material is processed: how it’s ground, screened, and if color is added.
    Our Micro Mulch is comparable to non-species mulches. Examples of species mulches would be pine bark mulch or fir mulch. Micro Mulch is ground to a finer texture than conventional mulches. The smaller particle size allows it to break down faster, retain moisture longer, improve your soil more quickly, and provide a better weed barrier than larger, chunkier mulches—so your plants get better results sooner.
