Free Class: Overthrow Monoculture: Manageable Lawn Reduction
August 26, 2017 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Free Class – from the Natural Gardener
Saturday, August 26th at 10am – Alexa Villalobos of Fertile Grounds Gardens presents “Overthrow Monoculture: Manageable Lawn Reduction”
Digging out all of the grass can be a really intensive process, much less figuring out what to replace it with. Alexa will discuss a few strategic design principles to follow that will allow you to convert your grass into intentional spaces that can be enjoyed by humans and creatures alike in manageable chunks, as well as methods for reducing the work of site prep and minimizing maintenance. This class is especially geared for DIY and will help you to create a plan that can be tackled in phases so that the conversion of the garden can be enjoyed as the project unfolds.
Alexa is one of the two earth mothers who own Fertile Ground Gardens organic landscaping professionally developing other people’s space into minimal lawn oasises. An avid Do IT Yourselfer and natural spendthrift, she has been dedicating much of her spare time into converting her 1/4 acre of Burmuda grass on the east side into a beautiful and functional gathering space for humans and wild creatures alike on a very small budget. Let her help you get started on your project!
