Rethinking the Lawn
A Marin Master Gardeners Presentation
Green monster in your garden? Tired of your lawn soaking up water? Join us to learn why lawns are not eco-friendly, the best method to eliminate one and how to select replacements for the space.
In this presentation, you will 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 will discuss the latest in walkable green plants, plus a host of other possibilities that will broaden your definition of “lawn alternative” as we answer these questions:
- Why replace your lawn?
- Three methods for lawn removal
- What do you put where your lawn was?
