Celebrate National Public Gardens Week and Bring Beauty Home
Every year in early May, National Public Gardens Week celebrates the beauty and importance of public gardens across the country. These green spaces provide more than just scenic views; they inspire us to care for our own outdoor environments, starting right at home.
Whether it's a sprawling botanical garden or a local community plot, the message is clear: healthy, vibrant green spaces matter. And just like public gardens, your lawn should be a place of beauty, relaxation, and pride.
Ways to Celebrate—With a Lawn Care Twist
1. Get Inspired by a Local Garden Visit
Take a stroll through a nearby public park or garden and get inspired. Notice the healthy turf, neat edges, and colorful garden beds. Think about how you can bring that same lush look to your own yard.
2. Refresh Your Lawn Care Routine
This week is a great time to take a good look at how your lawn’s doing. In the lawn care world, we use the term “cultural practice” when we’re making recommendations for your lawn maintenance routine. Beneficial cultural practices are the good lawn care habits you can build to help your lawn grow lush and healthy, making the most of your professional lawn care program. A strong lawn needs proper fertilization, weed control, and consistent mowing and watering, just like a public garden.
3. Discover the Benefits of a Healthy Lawn
Use this week to discover why a healthy lawn is important for both the environment and your outdoor experience. Healthy green spaces, like public parks, gardens, and residential lawns, provide essential ecosystem services, like producing oxygen and capturing carbon, majorly giving back to the environment in urban and suburban areas. Whether you attend a workshop or do your own research, you can learn how a well-maintained lawn plays a big part in helping the environment. It's a great time to gain insights that will benefit your lawn long-term.
4. Give Your Lawn the Care It Needs - With Professional Help
Just like public gardens benefit from volunteers, your lawn can thrive with proper care. While DIY maintenance helps, hiring a lawn care professional ensures your lawn gets the right care. Professional assistance can greatly improve your lawn's health and appearance all season. With professional, customized lawn services, including fertilization, aeration, and weed control, Weed Man is here to be your coach and teammate for the upcoming lawn care season–but you’re the MVP!
5. Share Lawn Progress or Tips Online
Take a photo of your green space and share it to celebrate National Public Gardens Week. Include a tip or two about your favorite lawn care practices to inspire your friends and family to enhance their own outdoor spaces.
6. Have a Lawn Picnic
Who says you need to leave your home to enjoy nature? With a well-cared-for lawn, your backyard can become your personal garden retreat. Roll out a blanket and take in the view—you’ve earned it!
Why It Matters
A healthy lawn isn’t just great to look at; it supports a better environment, enhances curb appeal, and creates a space where you can relax and connect with nature. Just like public gardens, your lawn contributes to the bigger picture by reducing runoff, filtering air, and providing a soft, green area to enjoy all season long. When we take care of healthy green spaces, they take care of us!
A Little Background on National Public Gardens Week
Started in 2009 by the American Public Gardens Association, National Public Gardens Week was created to highlight the impact public gardens have on our communities. Today, hundreds of gardens nationwide celebrate with tours, events, and educational opportunities.
It’s a great reminder that you don’t need acres of curated land to make a difference. Even your lawn can reflect the same values: care, beauty, and connection with nature.
