NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Due to predicted inclement weather, the Mulch Mowing Demonstration scheduled for Thursday, October 28 at the College of New Rochelle has been RESCHEDULED to Thursday, November 12 at 4 PM.
Join us on November 12 for a live demonstration by a professional landscaper, get your questions answered, and learn about this sustainable alternative that actually benefits lawns and gardens! The City of New Rochelle’s “Love ‘Em and Leave ‘Em” campaign, adopted in 2013, promotes mulch mowing and its advantages:
• A healthy property: Mulching recycles nutrients into the soil to feed lawns & plants, provides a free natural fertilizer, and helps retain moisture.
• Savings of time and effort: Mulching in place is easier and faster than raking or blowing leaves.
• Helping the environment: Leaf piles block streets and traffic, clog storm drains, and result in excess nutrient runoff (phosphorus & nitrogen), polluting our waterways. Transporting and disposing of grass and leaves as yard waste wastes energy and contributes to pollution, too.
