Learn how to remove or reduce your lawn, and choose native plants that can thrive and enrich your new landscape. The program’s presenters will also share special insights about designing landscapes with native plants. See images of many locally native plants, even a native grass lawn, as well as native plant landscapes that were once just lawn.
This program by the local California Native Plant Society’s Redbud Chapter on how and why convert your lawn to a native landscape was a big hit in Roseville in August. Now they are bringing it to Nevada County by including more plants local to this county (and still covering Placer County).
Save water, beautify your yard, and support our local birds and butterflies by converting your lawn to a native landscape! It’s a free public workshop (preceded by a short Redbud chapter meeting.)
Both Chrissy Freeman and Tece Markel are active in the Redbud Chapter, as well as members of Master Gardener programs.
