Lush Lawns

Residents have the opportunity to attend one of these workshops and learn how to keep their lawn looking good, even through the driest days of summer. Experts will explain how to choose the right grass varieties, and how to mow, water and fertilize for optimal health.

At all three events participants will be able to speak with experts and visit displays from local gardening groups. The workshops are filling up fast. Space is limited; call 905.683.7575 to reserve a spot.
