Shrink your lawn: Save money and time while enhancing biodiversity! North Fulton Master Gardeners Paula Lindsey, Tom Redmon, and Sandra Shave explain how you can and should reduce your lawn size by making your own native habitat. Join the effort to create a country-wide Homegrown National Park and reduce your lawn size. Use low-growing natives; plant a native wildflower meadow; establish a pollinator garden; embellish those shady spots with natives; or just convert more of your lawn to native shrubs.
The North Fulton Master Gardeners in collaboration with the UGA Extension in Fulton County are continuing to provide horticultural education to the North Fulton community and beyond through FREE virtual gardening education programming. This series of six classes begins Sunday, February 6, 2022, and will be available through live Zoom webinars and Facebook Live. Each class emphasizes practical gardening activities at the time of year that is best suited for that activity.
