It is the practice of establishing and caring for a garden lawn without the use of chemical inputs such as pesticides or artificial fertilisers. It is claimed that organic lawns have the capacity to contribute to biodiversity and that this is part of the answer to the significant environmental issues brought up by the use of lawns with grassroots groups emerging to promote this method of lawn care.

Organic lawn care is a method of establishing and caring for a garden lawn without the use of synthetic chemical inputs such as pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilisers. Using organic practices on a lawn is a good way to avoid exposure to potentially harmful chemicals, since among all the elements of the garden, the lawn is the part that humans come in contact with the most often, either through walking or sitting on the lawn, as well as through exposure to pets that have been on the lawn.

Managed organically, the lawn can be more than simply a green carpet and can contribute to the overall biodiversity and richness of the garden ecosystem. Organic lawns can be valuable habitats in their own right, providing a home for a variety of insects, birds and other wildlife. Indeed, by relaxing a little and allowing the grass to grow longer, we will find that the lawn becomes healthier, requires less work and even becomes more visually interesting.
