Fertilizer, herbicide, and other things we put on our lawns are a significant source of pollution in our rivers and the Bay.
In 2009 Dr. Frank Gouin, a University of Maryland professor and the Bay Weekly’s Bay Gardener, and Matt Ciminelli, a landscape professional, helped us to devise the West/Rhode Riverkeeper Growing Green lawn care program, a simple method for maintaining a healthy lawn that is also healthy for the rivers.
