This is the second, yet stand-alone, class following the “Design-It-Yourself” talk in January. The speaker will cover the nuts and bolts of lawn removal, sheet mulching, soil percolation testing, transitioning to drip irrigation, plant acquisition and planting techniques. This lecture provides a lot of material in a short time and is designed for the layperson who wants some tips on how to install a small native garden.
