Join WSU Thurston County Master Gardener volunteers as they install a creative display of lawn alternatives at the Dirt Works Demonstration Garden. Attendees will learn about different options that provide excellent ground cover, lower maintenance, support pollinators, and look terrific. You will support the installation by planting seeds, transplanting certain species from other places in the garden, and have a chance to ask questions about techniques, plant species, and more. Please dress appropriately for the weather, bring gloves, sunscreen, and water. Shared snacks are welcome.<\/p>\n
Anyone, 10 years old and older, is welcome to attend and participate.\u00a0 A completed and signed non-volunteer waiver is required to participate, and forms will be available.<\/p>\n
