Get Your Lawn Off Drugs!
4:00pm
Mike “Mr. Mulch” McGrath
Homeowners often find themselves trapped on a “toxic treadmill,” simply because they don’t realize how easy it is to have a lovely landscape without using the chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides that endanger people, pets, the environment, and the water supplies we all share. American homeowners use more toxic chemicals per square foot on their lawns than ‘conventional’ chemically intensive farmers do on crops—despite the fact that those chemicals often make lawns look worse! Mike McGrath, host of the Public Radio show “You Bet Your Garden” and Garden Editor for WTOP news radio, will reveal money-and-time-saving tips that will help you achieve a lush, green lawn and a lovely landscape without risking your life in a fun, fast-paced workshop.
