Description
We're joined by landscape designer Edwina von Gal, founder of Perfect Earth Project, for a chat exploring America's love of grass, its historic roots as a ubiquitious plant, and von Gal's advocacy for toxin-free landscaping. Dig into the ways that changing our relationship to our lawns can help our gardens work harder as part of the solution to our most pressing environmental challenges. We'll examine lawn alternatives, the "Bee Lawn" and "No Mow May" movements, and some of the other ways we can turn suburban America's landscapes into a force for the good of our planet.Guest: Edwina von Gal
