Transform Your Lawn to Save Our Ecosystem
Thursday, March 21, 7 p.m.

According to NASA, turf grass lawn covers more of the U.S. than any other irrigated crop, while degrading our environment. Lawns are resource-heavy, requiring mowing, irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticides to thrive in New England. Learn why you should “kill your lawn” and how to replace it with beautiful and environmentally friendly gardens. Transitioning your yard to incorporate native plants in the lawn or gardens helps to mitigate floods, heat waves, sea-level rise, and the mass extinction of species. This free Zoom session will be presented by Mark Richardson Director of Horticulture for New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill. To register, visit: metrowestclimatesolutions.org.
