GROUNDS BY GROUNDS
Grounds by Grounds: A Community Resiliency Project
PROJECT OVERVIEW
As the sister program to the Yard by Yard initiative, Grounds by Grounds zeroes in on public spaces, recognizing the unique environmental footprint and community influence of businesses, schools, churches, and parks.
Key Features:
Community Impact:
Aligning with Yard by Yard’s mission, Grounds by Grounds aims to make a positive impact on the environment, fostering biodiversity, and enhancing the aesthetics and ecological function of shared spaces.
Mini Grounds Option:
Even smaller spaces can flourish with the Mini Grounds option, ensuring that every corner, regardless of size, can be a part of the Grounds by Grounds program.
Support and Recognition:
Participants gain support from the Yard by Yard team and community, but also recognition for their efforts and an opportunity to encourage others. Creating resilience and bringing our communities together.
Why Grounds by Grounds Matters:
Businesses, schools, churches, and parks are influential hubs within our communities, making their commitment to sustainable landscaping pivotal. Grounds by Grounds champions the transformation of these spaces into eco-conscious landscapes that foster biodiversity and environmental well-being.
