Remove Your Lawn and Develop Healthy Soil for Your New Native Plant Garden

Remove Your Lawn and Develop Healthy Soil for Your New Native Plant Garden

Description: Designed with the home gardener in mind, this workshop will explore the pros and cons of having a lawn and review several techniques to remove it. We will identify beautiful native plants to put in place of the lawn. This workshop will demonstrate step by step how to remove your lawn and develop healthy soil using the sheet mulch technique. This process enhances your soil even if you do not have a lawn, so everyone is welcome. We hope attendees will be inspired to remove their own lawns and replace them with wildlife-attracting, drought-tolerant, easy-to-grow, beautiful native plants.
