Need some lawn and landscape tips?
The City of Everett will hold two free workshops in September to promote natural yard care – green-gardening practices that make yards easier to maintain and healthier for kids, pets and the environment.
On Tuesday, Sept. 20, Ladd Smith, co-owner of InHarmony Sustainable Landscaping, will speak about natural lawn care techniques. Smith will discuss proven lawn care strategies to create a better, healthier lawn while using less fertilizer, water and pesticides. Additional topics included are moss and mole solutions.
On Tuesday, Sept. 27, Emily Bishton, a landscape designer and educator, will discuss fall gardening practices. Bishton has designed sustainable landscapes since 1997. She will walk attendees through a variety of topics that should be on everyone’s fall gardening to-do list, including pruning, mulching, dividing and weeding.
Both events will be at Eisenhower Middle School from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
Natural Lawn Care Demo Day coming in October
On Oct. 1, from 9 a.m. to noon, the City will hold an all new addition to the yard care series, a free “Natural Lawn Care Demo Day,” at Thornton A. Sullivan Park.
“We are excited to host this event,” said Apryl Hynes, Everett Public Works program manager. “It will be a great opportunity for residents to get free, hands-on experience with natural lawn care practices, try out aerators, spreaders and other equipment, and even learn how to sharpen mower blades.”
