30-40% of all land is privately owned. What if the faith groups, businesses, local governments, schools/universities, and individuals with purview to this earth took responsibility for its’ and planets’ health? This program offers 5 models for transitioning from a traditional manicured lawn to the one that could:
– Save the efficacy of your lower back
– Eliminate mowing
– Limit watering
– Help our earth and waterways by eschewing added nutrients and lawn chemicals
– Support all rungs of the food chain, by promoting biodiversity
– Up the ante significantly for both carbon and water absorption
– If you choose, grow enough highly nutritious food to feed friends family and community
We have that power to do this!
This event is free.
