Who’s on turf? Who’s on second? Who’s on third? We can’t answer the last two questions, but if you or your gardener are just watering and mowing your grass and don’t often actually use it, it might be time to consider water and maintenance-saving alternatives that will bring you more beauty and interest than your turf ever did. Come learn what it takes to get your sod out, and the advantages and disadvantages of each method. The techniques work equally well if your “lawn” is really more of a patch of weeds. We will also have a hands-on portion demonstrating two organic methods of killing your lawn: Solarization and Sheet Mulching. Please wear close-toed shoes and bring a hat, water, and sunblock. We encourage everyone, of all physical abilities, to participate in the hands-on portion. However, if you would rather watch instead, please join us anyway!
