It’s Keep Off the Grass Day

Each April 21st since 2013, we celebrate Keep Off the Grass Day. It’s an odd little holiday dedicated to protecting and preserving our green spaces.

Grass has been maintained and used for decorative and protective purposes since the Middle Ages. In Europe, grass was featured around castles and wealthy homes to allow watchmen to easily see an approaching enemy or create a space for sports and ceremonies – much like today! However, unlike today, grass was typically maintained by using a scythe or grazing animals.

Today we try to keep our lawns and fields looking good by mowing them – and keeping feet from trampling them! On this Keep Off the Grass Day, protect those beautiful blades from too much wear and tear!
