"I have always used Organics. When I was young I was a fisherman and worked part time for a tree service and never used pesticides because of my love for the water. Now I have my own landscape tree Service Company and only use an organic approach. I use what I learned taking the courses at The Nature Lyceum.
I am using a new mix of peat moss, earthworm castings, compost and mini pine bark mulch to provide nutrients and to aerate also use compost teas as a follient enhancer. The trees are greener, healthier and more alive. I will always use Organics –it’s the better way to go."-

" I am the daughter of a golf course superintendent. After being educated at The Nature Lyceum I have been using Organics with outstanding results. I witness the transformation of my gardens as the soil goes from lifeless to growth and energy. Something as simple as leaves left on the ground can begin a chain reaction of countless life. I have experienced 3 years of phenomenal results and success. I am grateful to Jeff Frank and the Nature Lyceum for the constant support I continue to receive."
Florence Rewenski - Estate Gardener

" I have been using an Organic approach for the past 10 years. I have reduced my pesticide use more than 90% and fertilizers by 1/3. I use compost and compost teas to fight off diseases injected through the irrigation system. I spray the problem areas directly. I use natural fertilizers in all areas. The results have been great-it works! My membership feels good about not playing in a chemical environment and so do I.
The small bird population is thriving at my course. We are also very concerned about the water under Long Island as we are situated on a penninsula and have public drinking wells on the property. So you can see how important it is to move in the Organic direction. Jeff Frank and The Nature Lyceum is a guiding light for making a difference. It just makes sense." 
Phil Anderson - Golf Course Superintendent (18 yrs) The Village Club of Sands Point, New York

 In his new book, “Greening America to Save the World” Author and Landscape Architect, Mark Pavletich, says in the first chapter, “An Organic Journey”.  “For two decades, all my energies were focused on building a thriving Landscape business. But everything changed in 2002. Renowned Landscape Architect Carter van Dyke, with whom I had worked on several projects, recommended that I attend a seminar at The Nature Lyceum, a school for Organic Horticulture on Long Island, NY. Experts from our industry spoke on how toxic landscape chemicals and fertilizers were killing landscapes (not nourishing them). Then Organic experts lectured on how maintaining landscapes could be done with out harming the plants. You can imagine the shock in the classroom, which was full of landscape architects and landscape company owners. All of us came away with from the seminar feeling that we had been brainwashed by the chemical industry. My perspective on horticulture and my career changed over night. I felt reborn as a green horticulturist and businessman.                                                     Mark Pavletich - Landscape Horticulturist and Businessman
