Rethink your Lawn

Apr 4, 2018 | Green Tips

Now is the time to rethink your lawn. A typical lawn consumes >10,000 gals of water each year. By replacing even part of your lawn with native, water-wise plants, you can save tons of water & help support our birds, bees and bugs. For great alternatives, don’t miss the Going Native Garden Tour. Go to: www.goingnativegardentour.org for details. The North Bay tour is on Saturday, April 9th and the South Bay tour is on Sunday, April 10th, 2016.  Both tours will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
