Lawn-less Yards

Reducing the American lawn is good for everyone. We can add more native plants, reduce flooding in our watershed, attract pollinators, and bring balance to our ecosystems. Dive into some examples projects where native plant solutions have replaced lawns. Class will focus on a variety of site conditions such as sunny slopes, low wet spots, and wooded areas. View before/during/after images and learn the plant lists that made them successful as inspiration to transform your lawn into less.
This program takes place in-person at Mt. Cuba Center Saturday, August 23, 2025.
