GET RID OF THAT BLUEGRASS, GROW VEGGIES INSTEAD!
Food Not Lawns KC Workshop at Olathe Public Library
, Sept. 12, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m
You spent all summer mowing, spraying, raking and reseeding the front lawn, but what have you got to show for it beyond a sore back and more grass to mow next spring? Instead of mowing and weeding, you could have spent your summer filling your freezer and pantry with homegrown vegetables and fruit. Come to the Indian Creek Branch Library, 12990 S. Black Bob Rd, Olathe, KS 66062, Saturday, Sept. 12, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. and learn how to grow food, not lawns.
More and more area residents are tearing up their front yard and planting tomatoes, sweet potatoes, strawberries and other edible plants as part of a growing national movement. Toby Grotz and Steve Mann from Food Not Lawns KC, will show how to prepare your lawn for vegetable planting. Fall is the best time to get ready for a productive summer.
