Learn about health and environmental impacts of organic landscaping from local experts! Facilitated by Debbie Smith, attorney, Justice of the Peace, and longtime Watertown resident.
For this session, join Chip Osborne for a presentation on how municipalities can make a commitment to caring for public lands without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, including examples from the towns of Wellesley and Marblehead. Fear of failure is a common limiting factor to a more widespread adoption of organic practices. Just as one needs education to manage with chemicals, education is needed to manage with alternative practices.
