Mission

To create a broad-based coalition of non- and for-profit organizations committed to educating society about the benefits of environmentally responsible lawn care and gardening, and effect a quantum change in consumer and industry behavior.

History

In the spring of 2006, with water quality, chemical exposure and global warming emerging as mainstream issues, Paul Tukey, author of The Organic Lawn Care Manual, contacted a group of motivated and qualified professionals from the for-profit and non-profit sectors to try and figure out how to take organic turf care and grounds maintenance in the United States to the next level.

Sixteen people gathered together at the American Horticultural Society’s River Farm in Alexandria, VA the following in July to help work out the vision that would become SafeLawns.org, and in the past four years, SafeLawns has touched literally millions through the Internet, print and broadcast media, and face to face contact at green industry shows, conferences and garden club meetings across America.

Other highlights have included a four-acre organic makeover on the National Mall, the production of more than 20 award-winning How-to-Videos about organic lawn care, and the production of a full-length feature documentary about the origin of the anti-lawn pesticide movement, titled
A Chemical Reaction.

Funding for the organization comes from private and corporate memberships and donations, foundation grants, and from Paul Tukey's honoraria for public speaking, educational seminars and consulting.
