Replacing the Green Desert: Native Plant Alternatives to Turf

February 14, 2019 By Kim Eierman

The great American love affair with the “Green Desert” (aka turfgrass lawn) has a long tradition with a very high ecological cost. Exotic grass lawns are virtual wastelands in our local ecosystems, providing little to our native species, while demanding tremendous amounts of water, labor and fertilizer. Kim Eierman explains how to turn a lifeless lawn into a thriving ecological system filled with native plant alternatives. Learn more about Kim Eierman and her speaking topics.
