About this Event
How often should I water my lawn? Does this change from month to month? Should I fertilize my lawn? What kind of fertilizer should I use and how much? When should I apply it? What is the best and worst turf to plan in our area? What are some attractive and eco-friendly alternatives to lawns? What programs exist to help streamside landowners? What about ditch water users?
Have you asked these questions? Is so, be sure to join Cascadia Conservation District and the Chelan-Douglas County Master Gardner Program to learn about eco-friendly lawn care and more. This class will teach you how to make the most of your lawn and yard while keeping water conservation and water quality in mind!
