March 21 at 7pm. Turf grass lawn covers more of the U.S. than any other irrigated crop. Lawns are resource-heavy, requiring mowing, irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticides to thrive.

Learn why you should transition your lawn using beautiful and environmentally friendly plants. Incorporating native plants in lawns and gardens helps to mitigate floods, heat waves, sea-level rise, and the mass extinction of species. Is it time to “kill your lawn?”
