Do you have a section of lawn that is rarely used or that you're tired of mowing? If so, come learn how you can convert a section of traditional lawn to a native meadow/prairie using seed. It's an affordable and DIY friendly option to creating larger areas of beautiful and beneficial habitat in your home landscape. This presentation will cover the 'how to' of site assessment, preparation, seeding, and vegetation management. Lets rethink lawns together!
