Bee Lawns & Alternative Lawns

Have you heard the "buzz" about low-mow grass, bee-friendly lawns, and other turf alternatives?

During this free webinar, we'll talk about the pros and cons of different types of lawn and provide guidance on transforming your conventional lawn into a low-mow or bee-friendly landscape this fall. We'll also connect you with local support through the Washington Conservation District and area watershed districts to get started.

Low-mow and bee-friendly lawns are ideal for sunnier sites with relatively low traffic. They are drought resistant and can help to support bees and other pollinator species.

Presented by:

  • James Wolfin, an entomologist and sustainable land care manager at Metro Blooms

  • Angie Hong, water education specialist with East Metro Water Education Program
