Join in bringing back wildlife to your outdoor environment! Remember the summer nights when the fireflies seemed more plentiful than the stars? You can bring that time back, and reduce your lawn care responsibilities at the same time, regardless of size (urban, surburban, farm).
Catherine Zimmerman, award winning photographer, filmaker, author, horticulturist and sustainable landscape designer will be presenting a two-part workshop on Saturday, September 8.
11 AM - 12:30 PM In the morning session Catherine will present meadowscaping as a lawn alternative. She explains why meadow and prairie habitats are economically and environmentally beneficial and will present a step-by-step primer on reducing lawn size and organically installing a beautiful meadow in your own yard. No space is too small!
