natural lawn movement

The founder of The Cook's Garden, Shephard Ogden, has been selected as the new executive director for SafeLawns.org, an organization dedicated to promoting natural lawn care. If he does as good a job with Safe Lawns as with The Cook's Garden (I should admit my bias by disclosing that I've been a customer of theirs for quite awhile---check out their awesome seed selection!), then we should be seeing at least a *bit* of decrease in pesticide and artificial fertilizer use in suburbs everywhere, and more awareness about environmentally friendly gardening techniques. Or so I hope!
