Whether your concerns are about family members, pets, or the environment, the trend toward a greener style of property management includes your lawn for many.

On Thursday, April 21 at 7 pm, Bruce Wenning of the Ecological Landscape Alliance will review a no-nonsense approach to having a chemical free lawn, and clear up much of the rhetoric involved in decision making when it comes to using or not using chemicals. The program takes place at the Gardens at Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street, Wellesley, and is $12 for Mass Hort members, $20 for nonmembers. Register by calling 617-933-4973, or visit www.masshort.org.  Image from www.lawncare.org.
