Earth-Kind® Information

Welcome…Else Poulsen

Our mission is to motivate people to make smart choices about their landscapes and gardens by spreading the word about EARTH-KIND® Roses and EARTH-KIND® Environmental Soil Management. We hope to enlighten the public by making the the latest scientifically sound, research based information from regional and national trial gardens available to all people.

MutabilisWhat is EARTH-KIND®?

“EARTH-KIND®” is one of the most prestigious plant designations bestowed by the Texas AgriLife Extention Service. It is based on years of extensive field research conducted by Texas A&M horticultural experts. Only a few, very special cultivars (i.e. “varieties”) possess the extremely high levels of landscape performance coupled with the outstanding disease and insect tolerance/resistance that are required in order to receive this designation.

Our site will focus on current rose research and will eventually expand to include EARTH-KIND® perennials and EARTH-KIND® shrubs when those trials begin. It will be a clearing house for information Perle d'Orand questions about EARTH-KIND® principles and highlight the different trial gardens around the state and the country and the people who are working hard to make them successful.EARTH-KIND® is a registered proprietary trademark of the Texas AgriLife Extension Service, on file with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office since 1991. No person entitiy or organization may use the term, EARTH-KIND® or its accompanying logo in any form or media without the express written permission of the owner.
