Experience Homefields

From storm water management and yoga to native plantings and beekeeping, “Experience Homefields” connects local experts to residents, shareholders, and the community, promoting wellness and sustainability through information and education.

Are you ready to convert lawn into habitat? Are you seeking an approach that is calmer to the eye with a native plant palette that is shorter than traditional meadows? Join fellow native garden enthusiasts to learn about versatile native sedges and to activate our collaborative design as part of a lawn to sedge meadow conversion on the Homefields grounds!Our collaborative planting project will use native landscape plugs grown from volunteer Matt Dilley and Kind Earth Growers. Please bring your favorite hand digging trowel, gloves, water bottle, and sturdy shoes. Participants will receive free native landscape plugs as a thank you for rebuilding biodiversity at Homefields!___________________________Elyse Jurgen, owner of Waxwing EcoWorks Co.
