Every house in America should be fronted with a non-native monoculture with the maintenance requirements of a golf course and the ecological value of a strip mine; a place where all flowers are called weeds and signs to the extent of ‘keep off’ are the norm.

Does the idea seem a bit odd to you? It’s time to take a second look at this idea we call lawn. Join Dan Jaffe Wilder, author of Native Plants for New England Gardens and Director of Applied Ecology at Norcross Wildlife Foundation to learn about the various options available to us, from whole lawn replacement to strategies for reducing inputs and increasing ecological value. From well-known plants to new introductions, we will discuss various options that fit the needs of any lawn space.

Speaker: Dan J. Wilder
Location: in-person at Millers River Environmental Center or online via Zoom*.
