This project is sponsored by Rotary District 7040, Rotary Clubs of Kingston, and ESRAG North East America.

The City of Kingston is supporting this initiative

We have partnered with 1000 Islands Master Gardeners to give lawn and garden guidance on No Mow May and beyond.

Signs: Visibility must be maintained (on corners and where neighbors use driveways)  so no signs can be placed that would impede any driver’s visibility.

When it is time to cut grass, cut it in stages: do not go from No Mow back to the old short lawn in one cut.  Grass should not be cut more than a third of its length as cutting any lower could kill your grass.

Please save your signs and put them up again in April next year, or if you have switched to a meadow, pollinator, edible or forest garden inspire a friend or neighbor to use the sign! 

When the BEE FRIENDLY - NO MOW MAY signs are available, you will be contacted with an address where to pick up your lawn sign.
