Hopkinton Sustainable Green Committee

Buzz from the Pollinator Gardens Celebration

So many people turned out for a feel-good event on 9/22 at Hughes Farm to celebrate the completion of 3 pollinator gardens in town, designed to educate the community about the need for them all over the place.

Here's a link to some coverage of the event - we'll share our own pictures soon:


Hopkinton residents often ask what sustainable practices they should follow - this page introduces what will have the most impact and provides links to help you do them.

You can't do all of them right now but you can do a few, and then work on the rest. Some have no cost, some will save you money in the near term, and all will save you money in the longer term, plus there are incentives to help you.

This website is intended to be the one-stop spot for all your local sustainability needs. It's a work-in-progress and is updated regularly. We welcome your input, too!

See what others in town are doing - they've earned green stars - and let us know about your efforts.
