How Does Your Garden Grow: Sustainable Yard Care Alternatives

11:30 am - 12:00 pm

Biddeford Campus (Ripich Common room 320)

Lush, expansive, and a quintessential element of the American dream, lawns may not look so green when you shift your perspective. The labor and resource intensity of maintaining our manicured lawns comes at significant cost – not just in dollars, but in detrimental impacts to ecosystems near and far. Let’s talk about sustainable alternatives to lawn care that won’t sacrifice beauty.

Food For Thought is a monthly conversation series – you know, like a lunch & learn, but more hip – hosted by the Environmental Health & Safety and Sustainability Offices. We’ll dive into sustainability and safety topics, with guest appearances from expert faculty and staff. You’re invited to bring questions and suggestions (and a buddy!), as we’re aiming for an interactive format. Head below for details on each topic.

The first ten participants to sign-in at the event each month get a free lunch!
