Learn how to reduce lawn areas, whether sunny, wet, or wooded, and add native plants that reduce flooding, attract pollinators, and strengthen our ecosystems.

FULL DESCRIPTION

Reducing the American lawn is good for everyone. We can add more native plants, reduce flooding in our watersheds, attract pollinators, and bring balance to our ecosystems. Dive into some example projects where lawns have been replaced by native plant solutions. With a focus on a variety of site conditions such as sunny slopes, low wet spots, and wooded areas, view before/during/after images and learn the plant lists that made them successful.

This program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Saturday, April 5, 2025.
