FREE Lose Your Lawn Workshop For Santa Cruz County

LOSE YOUR LAWN WORKSHOP - FREE

Topics include conversion of overhead spray irrigation to efficient drip irrigation, proper selection of water-wise California native and Mediterranean plants, and how to save money and time by using the sheet mulching method for lawn removal. Participants will also learn about how they can participate in landscape rebate programs for each of the water districts in our area.

Workshop participants have the option of participating in a hands-on turf removal project to gain practical experience with the sheet mulching and irrigation skills they’ll need to tackle their lawn at home. The workshop on October 4th will double as a community service project where workshop participants will convert a section of turf at Ramsay Park to low water use plants to provide a lasting demonstration garden for the community.
