Summer Care for Lawns
Instructor: Mark Blevins, Gaston County Horticulture Agent, NC Cooperative Extension
Learn how to keep turf in tip top shape during our harsh summer conditions. Species selection, maintenance tips, irrigation innovations and soil fertility solutions will help the novice or advanced gardener. Whether you want to keep it green or have a pristine patch of grass, this is the First Tuesday for you!
A short tour will take place after the class to identify and show how summer conditions affect the grasses in the gardens.
