NEW! Lawn Alternatives
Fall Workshop | Available
Do you want to reduce the amount of lawn you mow weekly and instead enjoy a diversity of plants that provide beauty with texture, form, and color while also providing food for beneficial insects and birds, all the while nurturing a healthier ecosystem?
Would you like to learn how to bring nature closer to your home, transforming your property into a habitat haven rather than a financial drain and ecological dead zone?
During this introductory workshop, CAC Caretaker Austin Dodson will discuss options to move away from the traditional lawnscape to a more plant-rich and biodiverse garden where natural processes lead the way, reducing your long-term maintenance inputs.
