Are you interested in creating beautiful and environmentally sound, climate-appropriate landscapes that use less water, create less pollution, and provide habitats for wildlife? Then join the Manhattan Beach Botanical Garden on Saturday, September 15th to learn more.
Local landscapers Mimi Andersen and Mike Garcia will share the knowledge and experience gained from creating numerous earth-friendly gardens in the South Bay. Discussions will include:
- Irrigation/rainwater harvesting methods for zero runoff;
- Gardens that pay for themselves over time;
- Lawn removal and reduction;
- Urban habitat and pest management;
- Right plant choices;
- Choosing nontoxic materials and the fossil fuel cycle;
- Using recycled and local materials; and
- Design mistakes to avoid.
To reserve your spot today leave the name of the class you'd like to attend, contact information, and the number of people attending the class with Julie Gonella at (310) 546-1354. Please visit the Botanical Garden website to view the schedule of upcoming classes.
More information on the City's environmental programs, including rebates to help you create your own CA-friendly yard, can be found on the Going Green website.
