Lawn Alternatives for a Healthier Environment | The North Fulton Master Gardeners Spring Gardening Series

The North Fulton Master Gardeners in collaboration with the UGA Cooperative Extension in Fulton County are providing horticultural education to the North Fulton community and beyond through FREE virtual gardening education programming. This series of six classes begins Sunday, February 6, 2022, and will be available through live Zoom webinars and Facebook Live. The classes will also be available for later viewing on YouTube.

Shrink your lawn: Save money and time while enhancing biodiversity! North Fulton Master Gardeners Paula Lindsey, Tom Redmon and Sandra Shave explain how you can and should reduce your lawn size by making your own native habitat. Join the effort to create a country-wide Homegrown National Park and reduce your lawn size. Use low-growing natives; plant a native wildflower meadow; establish a pollinator garden; embellish those shady spots with natives; or just convert more of your lawn to native shrubs.

Each class emphasizes practical gardening activities at the time of year that is best suited for that activity. Please register in advance to assure your place. You may register for all six classes or just pick specific classes. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about how to join the webinar. If you cannot attend the live webinar, you can register anyway to receive a recorded link to the class.
