NEXT PROGRAM:

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 10-11 AM

“NO MOW” LAWNS

(a field trip in the Highland Park neighborhood)

Presenter: Nancy Levine

Vice President, HPGC

Are you tired of mowing, fertilizing and weeding your grass lawn? Of watching it turn brown when there hasn't been enough rain? Are you worried about the negative environmental impact of your grass lawn? This program will tour a "No-Mow" yard in Highland Park, presenting a brief history of the grass lawn, the reasons not to have one (or to make yours smaller) and low maintenance options to replace it.

The program will be a combination of indoor slide show and outside tour (all indoors, if it rains). Please keep the weather conditions in mind in choosing a hat and clothing.

Nancy Levine is Vice-President and a founding member of the Highland Park Garden Club, a Master Gardener and a lifelong environmentalist. She is on the Board of The Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy and is a volunteer for Tree Pittsburgh.

HPGC programs and tours are free to HPGC members.

Non-members are welcome to attend this program; a donation through Eventbrite is requested.
