Rethinking the American Lawn

Will be held in the community room. Registration through Penfield Library Programs.

“Americans love their lawns with a passion rarely seen in other countries; fifty-eight million

Americans enthusiastically plant, weed, water, spray, and mow an estimated twenty million

acres of lawn.  But is our dedication to these lawns contributing to the serious environmental

problems facing the planet?”  F. Herbert Bormann

Join the presentation and discussion on how we might rethink our lawns and landscape to

make them more ecologically sustainable and less work.  Megan Meyer, Healthy Yards Monroe
