In fact, lawns have a number of positive attributes besides appearance and the ability of kids to kick soccer balls around on them; they also release oxygen, sequester carbon dioxide, and have a cooling effect on the environment. The negative effects can be reduced by reducing input. The instructor will discuss grass species and variety selections as well as maintenance programs that require significantly less mowing, irrigation, fertilization, and pesticide use than traditional lawn care. Class meets Monday, 3/27 from 6:00 8:00 pm. Location: Medomak Valley High School. Fee: $19. In the KNOW In the DOUGH! with Debra L. Arter Who can resist the smell of fresh bread baking?
