Aug. 30, 9am-12pm // LAWN PATROL (NEIGHBORHOOD WALK)
Learn how to save water in your landscape. We'll be touring Scott and Betsy's home to see how their landscape is transforming into an Ocean Friendly Garden (OFG) and how you can get involved.
We'll walk the neighborhood to observe OFG elements that direct and retain rainwater into the landscape while reducing runoff, with climate appropriate plants.
