The Green Grass of Home? No-mow landscaping

When:

Jul 11, 2009
9:30 AM - 12:30 PM

Details:

Kirsten Buhls, Agriculture and Natural Resources Extension Agent with the Arlington office of Virginia Cooperative Extension, will lead a workshop on alternatives to traditional yards. She will discuss the environmental impacts of maintaining a grass lawn and talk about alternatives, including planting native ground covers, using yards for food production, and xeriscaping. The workshop will include hands-on composting demonstrations and other techniques to help you transform your yard into a space that doesn't rely on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or frequent watering. No RSVP is necessary. You do not need to be a Sierra Club Member to attend.
