Updating the Suburban Lawn
for Sustainability & Health
The tradition of the large lawn as a hallmark of suburbia results in the wasting of precious resources, like water and gas. It taints our outdoor living space and community with hazardous chemicals that pollute our soil and groundwater.
How can you make your yard healthier and more sustainable?
Join us for an evening of ideas and practical information on how to reduce the size of your lawn and increase the beauty of the remaining lawn by caring for it without the use of hazardous chemicals. We will discuss design ideas and plant selections that will assist you in changing your resource-hungry lawn into a healthier, more sustainable yard.
