When the Rotary Club of Marblehead Harbor heard about the biodiversity, community, and earth health benefits of switching from curated lawns to different models, they took action.TRANSITION YOUR LAWN: PLANT HOPE is an initiative that offers 5 models for taking your traditional lawn from a patch of ground that (considering watering, mowing, added chemical, and nutrients) creates more greenhouse gases than it absorbs, to working earth that generates a haven for water absorption, biodiversity, native plants, and in one model, hyper nutritious food for family, neighbors, and community.
They supporting the creation of a web site: www.transitionyourlawn.org, and the originator of the program has been presenting to other clubs throughout the region. Another example of Rotarians at work!
