Sustainability
No Mow May
We are participating in "No Mow May" so expect our greens to look a little long this month as we halt our usual landscaping.
This simple act allows our grass and gardens to fully bloom. It also helps provide food for pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. Pollinators are vital to the health of our environment and help give life to new plants that sustain ecosystems.
We are committed to being a conscientious steward of our environment, and finding new ways, large and small, to contribute to a vibrant ecosystem. Many city buildings, cultural institutions and businesses choose to participate in the No Mow May movement.
