"Lawn" to GARDEN Party - Sheet Mulch Training
Event Information
Description
Not like any other garden parties – this one will give you an opportunity to help convert a dry, dead landscape into a garden using sheet mulch, all in one day!
Sheet mulch can:
-
Suppress weed growth without chemicals
-
Reduce labor and maintenance costs—weeds are composted in place
-
Improve nutrient and water retention in the soil
-
Encourage favorable soil microbial activity and worms
-
Enhance soil structure
-
Improve plant vigor and health, often leading to improved resistance to pests and diseases
StopWaste's Landscape Professional Staff and WEN Members, along with Sheet Mulch Educators, will all be on hand to provide guidance.
You will get to see the entire process and then can use what you learn to convert your own lawn or clay rich yard. We will provide how to brochures and information about water rebates that are available from local agencies.
Snacks and water will be provided, feel free to bring additional snacks or friends.
