Whether your concerns are about family members, pets, or the environment the trend is toward a greener style of property management and for many this includes your lawn. This no nonsense approach to having a chemical free lawn can clear up much of the rhetoric involved in decision making when it comes to using or not using chemicals.
In this Massachusetts Horticultural Society presentation, taking place Thursday, April 3 from 7 – 8:30 at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street, Wellesley, Bruce Wenning will cover the cultural practices that promote turfgrass germination, growth and establishment, reduce turfgrass insect and disease problems and conserve water. Organic versus inorganic methods will be contrasted to emphasize the real difference between the two methods. You don’t need inorganic chemical inputs to have a healthy lawn.
Bruce Wenning has thirty years of horticultural experience working with organic lawns and gardens and their pests. With university degrees in plant pathology and entomology he has taught organic lawn care for twenty years. Bruce is currently the horticulturalist at The Country Club in Brookline where he manages the formal gardens and greenhouse.
