Massachusetts Horticultural Society - SafeLawns on the Greenway

SafeLawns on the Greenway

MHS is working together with the SafeLawns Foundation and its founder Paul Tukey to install an all-organic lawn on our three Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Parcels on Saturday, May 24. In addition to the installation, SafeLawns has generously volunteered to maintain the lawn on the Greenway for the next two years.

The SafeLawns Foundation’s participation in the Greenway planting is part of its Million Acre Challenge which has a goal of removing pesticides and synthetic fertilizers from American lawns. This demonstration lawn is meant to show residents of Boston and surrounding communities how simple it is to go organic.
For more information about organic lawns including helpful videos, testimonials, research and podcasts go to www.SafeLawns.org.
