March 11: Cornell Cooperative Extension Presents 'Lawn Alternatives' on Zoom

authorStaff Writer on Feb 25, 2024

The East Hampton Library will host Cornell Cooperative Extension for an online lecture on lawn alternatives on Monday, March 11, at 6 p.m.

Presented via Zoom, the lecture will include information on how to reduce the size of a turf lawn or replace it with weed-suppressing groundcovers, ornamental grasses, perennials and shrubs. These changes to front yards, backyards or both increase biodiversity and attract a range of pollinators and other beneficial insects while enhancing landscape composition and appearance, according to Cornell Cooperative Extension.

To register, call 631-324-0222 or visit easthamptonlibrary.org/calendar or eventbrite.com/e/lawn-alternatives-presented-by-the-cornell-cooperative-extension-tickets-779437226727.

A Zoom meeting ID and password will be emailed to all registrants 15 minutes prior to the start of the event.
