Who We Are

The Ohio Turfgrass Foundation's mission is to advance the turfgrass industry through research, education and advocacy.

Founded in 1961 to provide information to turfgrass managers in Ohio, the Foundation has grown to provide resources to the industry locally, regionally and even internationally.  Through our news publications, regular email content and awards winning use of technology.
