Event details
For decades, nothing has optimised the great Aussie outdoor lifestyle more than the ubiquitous lawn. Green, lush, cool and iconic lawns feature in all manner of gardens. But lawns do little for our local biodiversity, soil health or storm water management. In fact, they take a lot of resources to maintain and can be the perfect environment for weeds to flourish.
Presented by Sustainable Gardening Australia, this session will discuss the key issues in owning and managing a traditional lawn. Not prepared to let go of your lawn but want to know how to maximise its carbon storage and foraging potential? We will look at lawn mowing strategies to achieve that. Prepared to forgo the lawn altogether? We’ll introduce you to alternative plants to create green groundcover without the need to mow.
Please note that this event will be taking place on the lawn outside the Parkview Room in the Camberwell Civic Centre. Please bring your own fold-out chair or picnic blanket to use during the presentation. In the event of wet weather, this event will take place in Camberwell Library Meeting Room 1.
