Organic Parks Workshop with Chip Osborne
What: The City of East Grand Rapids is transitioning two parks to organic and we want to show how they will do it! Natural lawn care expert Chip Osborne of Osborne Organics will provide a three hour crash course covering organic park management. We will cover the importance of soil biology, cultural practices and other natural lawn care concepts.
Who should attend: Managers of turf and other lands including those of park and school districts, municipalities, policymakers, non-profits and corporate campuses.
Cost: $10 registration fee so the non-profit Midwest Grows Green can provide refreshments and continue to assist communities with organic park and natural lawn care implementation.
More questions: Contact Ryan Anderson at randerson@ipminstitute.org or 773-878-8245
Thanks to: Stonyfield Organic Yogurt for supporting organic park implementation by the City of East Grand Rapids and funding for Chip Osborne's visit.
