Turning Lawns Into Meadows
$20.00
This workshop is not currently available. Add your name to the waiting list and we'll let you know as soon as it's offered again!
Join the WaitlistLocal landscape designer and author Owen Wormser will discuss the effect that lawns and meadows have on the environment. An area the size of Washington State is presently mowed turf in the United States. This makes lawns the largest irrigated "crop" in the country and the adverse impact of their ecological footprint is truly staggering.
Meadows offer the opposite effect, providing myriad ecological benefits–including ongoing sequestering of carbon and significantly increased biological diversity. Meadows are more affordable than lawns and with the right know-how, they're long lasting, low-maintenance and very beautiful. Owen will discuss the benefits of native meadows while also explaining how to create thriving meadowscapes, sharing tips and strategies drawn from research and over 20 years of on-the-ground experience.
Workshop participants receive a 20% discount on the 2nd edition of Owen Wormer's book through March 21! Use code MEADOWS20 at www.stonepierpress.org.
