THE ECO GARD STORY
Until recently, all plant protectors and tree guards were made from plastic. The Eco Gard story started when a 12 year old girl named Julia noticed this and decided to do something about it.
Julia writes,
"My idea started when I was going for walks or drives and started noticing so many plastic plant protectors everywhere. I was annoyed that we were planting trees to help the environment but then we were wrecking it by using plastic. I wondered if I could find a way to fix the problem."
