Seed Lending Library: Lose Your Lawn the Bay Friendly Way Workshop @ Main Library - April 26, 2014 - 2092

LOSE YOUR LAWN THE BAY-FRIENDLY WAY WORKSHOP

 

Saturday, April 26, 2014

Main Library

 

Presented by Bay-Friendly Educator and Master Composter Lori Caldwell, and Professional Landscape Designer Sue Oda

 

Workshop participants learned how to lose their lawns without tearing them out. Lori Caldwell and Sue Oda walked participants through the steps of converting their lawns without breaking their backs or their wallets, providing design and plant selection advice.

 

Lori Caldwell provided a hands-on demonstration of sheet mulching—an innovative technique of layering materials on top of your lawn, allowing you to plant right into it. Additionally, workshop participants learned how to participate in the local water agency’s water conservation rebate program.

 

Attendees received a free copy of the Bay-Friendly Gardening Guide and were entered into a drawing for additional garden gifts.

 

This workshop was presented as part of the Hayward Seed Lending Library, sponsored by the Friends of the Hayward Library. The Seed Lending Library operates as a community seed exchange. "Check out" a variety of vegetable and flower seeds to plant in your personal garden. In return, consider harvesting some of the seeds from mature plants for your own use and for sharing with the Seed Lending Library. It's easy to become a member or volunteer - learn more at: hayward-ca.gov/seeds.
