From native groundcovers and meadow-style plantings to clover blends and other eco-friendly ideas, discover practical ways to transform traditional turf areas into beautiful, functional spaces that work with nature instead of against it. Perfect for anyone curious about greener landscaping solutions! This program qualifies for Master Gardener continuing education credit.
