PLANET, the national trade association that represents more than 100,000 landscape industry professionals, has launched National Lawn Care Month.

As Spring is an important time to talk about the benefits of healthy lawns, the Professional Landcare Network has launched a grassroots campaign to promote National Lawn Care Month during April.

In order to support industry professionals when they talk about lawn care with their clients, PLANET created a web page, which provides a variety of tools that landscape and lawn care companies can use when promoting the month to clients.

The National Lawn Care Month campaign materials consist of a logo, infographic, photos, a press release, facts and resources, and promotion suggestions. Companies can tag tweets, Instagram photos, or Facebook posts with the hashtag #LawnCareMonth.

PLANET encourages the industry to get involved in promoting National Lawn Care Month.

"We encourage everyone in the industry to promote National Lawn Care Month," said Sabeena Hickman, CAE, CMP, PLANET CEO. "We want to support companies in educating the public about all the benefits that well-cared-for lawns and landscapes can bring into their lives."

PLANET also created a web page for National Lawn Care Month that is geared toward consumers. Everyone is encouraged to share the link to the LoveYourLandscape.com page with clients.
