THE CONSERVANCY MAINTAINS, PROGRAMS, FINANCES, AND IMPROVES THE 1.5-MILE GREENWAY ON BEHALF OF THE PUBLIC.THE CONSERVANCY CONTINUED TO MAKE GREENWAY IMPROVEMENTS AND BRING PUBLIC SPACE INNOVATIONS TO BOSTON:1.THE CONSERVANCY CONTINUED ITS LEADING ROLE IN PRESENTING ROTATING EXHIBITIONS OF CONTEMPORARY PUBLIC ART. FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE PUBLIC ART HAS A UNIFYING THEME, "PLAYFUL PERSPECTIVES," WITH NEW COMMISSIONS FROM MARK REIGELMAN, MEREDITH JAMES, AND AAKASH NIHALANI; INSTALLATIONS FROM THE DESIGN BIENNIAL BOSTON; ALONGSIDE THE MEHDI GHADYANLOO'S SPECTACULAR MURAL.

GARDEN UPGRADES WERE MADE THROUGHOUT THE PARKS.HORTICULTURETHE CONSERVANCY CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE GREENWAY'S BEAUTY THROUGH SKILLED, ATTENTIVE LANDSCAPE CARE AND THOUGHTFUL IMPROVEMENTS. THE CONSERVANCY USES ORGANIC AND SUSTAINABLE LANDSCAPE PRACTICES THAT ARE INNOVATIVE, AWARD-WINNING, AND FISCALLY SOUND. THE GREENWAY IS ONE OF A HANDFUL OF ORGANICALLY-MAINTAINED PUBLIC PARKS IN THE UNITED STATES. GREENWAY PLANTS ARE HEALTHIER, MORE RESILIENT, AND BETTER ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE STRESS OF PUBLIC USE AND THE DEMANDS OF AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE OF OUR MANAGEMENT PRACTICES. THE CONSERVANCY'S POLICY OF NOT USING HERBICIDES AND TOXINS ALSO ENSURES THAT RUN-OFF FROM THE PARKS WILL NOT POLLUTE BOSTON HARBOR OR HARM THE DELICATE MARINE LIFE. CHILDREN AND PETS CAN FREELY AND SAFELY PLAY ON OUR PARK LAWNS WITHOUT THE WORRY OF PESTICIDES. A HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL TEAM PARTNERED WITH US AND DETERMINED THAT OUR DAILY ORGANIC CARE IS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN A NON-ORGANIC APPROACH. THE CORNERSTONE OF OUR ORGANIC APPROACH IS COMPOST TEA. SUCCESS WITH NATURAL SOIL BIOLOGY HAVE IMPROVED PLANT HEALTH AND ROOT DEPTH, ALLOWING FOR DECREASED APPLICATIONS OF COMPOST TEA AND ORGANIC FERTILIZER OVER TIME. OUR SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS HAVE EARNED US A MAYOR'S GREENOVATE AWARD, AND THE PARK IS A NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION CERTIFIED WILDLIFE HABITAT. A WALK DOWN THE GREENWAY REVEALS LUSH, GREEN GRASS AND THRIVING GARDEN BEDS. OUR SUSTAINABLE HORTICULTURE PRACTICES INCLUDE WEED MANAGEMENT, OVERSEEDING AND AERATION, ORGANIC DEBRIS COMPOSTING, ORGANIC FERTILIZER APPLICATIONS AND EFFICIENT WATER USAGE.
