The Living Lawn Project advocates for the use of organic methods to establish and maintain lawns, playing fields and parks.  Pesticide use is a known hazard to the health and development of children and pets.  Our educational mission is to provide information about the health and environmental impact of pesticide use, and to teach safe and effective turf management practices.
    We participate in town forums, teach classes in organic lawn care and support other communities that want to educate their municipal government in the environmental and health benefits of organic methods.
    Through the work and commitment of dedicated volunteers we maintain an organic lawn and garden demonstration site - The Living Lawn.  It is open to the public and demonstrates the truth about organic grass - anyone who is willing to learn the basic concepts of soil biology can have a beautiful and safe lawn. 
    The Living Lawn Project is located at the end of Everett Paine Blvd. in Marblehead, MA.  We are grateful to the Marblehead Board of Health, the Marblehead Recreation and Parks Department, the Marblehead Museum and Historical Society, and all of our garden clubs for their on-going support of our work.  The project's mission is supported through speaking fees, the sale of organic herbs and flowers sold through the Marblehead Farmer's Market, and donations.

The class will be held at the Marblehead Museum and Historical Society.  Weather permitting, we will be able to visit the Lee Mansion lawn which is organically maintained.
