FireHawk Bioherbicide was received at the 2025 American Public Gardens Association (APGA) Conference, held June 3–6 at the Hyatt Regency Denver. The bioherbicide drew the attention of public garden leaders, horticulturists and sustainability experts who were eager to discover new options beyond traditional weed control, according to the company.
Representing FireHawk was vice president of landscaping and municipalities Kathleen Hallal and a NOFA Accredited Organic Landcare Professional. Hallal focuses on advancing alternative weed control practices for public spaces including municipalities, universities, parks and botanical gardens — sectors seeking to decrease chemical use and create healthier environments.
“Public gardens and civic landscapes are powerful models for regenerative land care,” said Hallal. “These organizations are deeply committed to sustainable practices, community education and supporting their communities. FireHawk Bioherbicide gives them an effective, high-performance alternative that supports soil health and minimizes environmental impact.”
Hallal and the FireHawk team engaged a continuous flow of visitors at their booth throughout the conference, showcasing FireHawk’s patented technology in action on both broadleaf and grassy weeds — providing rapid desiccation while enhancing soil biology through regenerative processes.
FireHawk Bioherbicide is being adopted by progressive municipalities, universities, vineyards, public gardens and landscapers seeking to decrease reliance on conventional herbicides, according to the company. The APGA Conference provided a platform to introduce this breakthrough product to the public gardens sector.
“We’re honored to support APGA members and other leaders in public land care as they transition to safer, more sustainable practices,” said Hallal.
