Rethinking the Lawn

Program: Got a green monster in your garden? Is your tired lawn soaking up lots of water but providing little usefulness? In this presentation, you’ll learn why lawns are not eco-friendly, watch a short video that shows the best method to easily eliminate one, and discover how to decide the best use for the space. We’ll discuss the latest in walkable plants, plus a host of other possibilities that’s sure to broaden your definition of “lawn alternative.”
