How to Go from Lawn to Garden

Learn how to remove grass without chemicals to prepare for a native plant garden during this hands-on workshop.

Barbee Way for conversion from lawn to native plant landscape. Participants will be guided on at least two methods of lawn removal in preparation for a native plant landscape. Part 2 will be a planting day in the spring of 2027. This will be an outdoor workshop and participants should come dressed for the weather and ready to work in the soil.
