Description:
Grassy lawns are the single most popular ground cover, but they are not always the best cover for a location or the easiest to maintain. Many people are interested in reducing or eliminating lawns--but wonder how to cover ground where lawns formerly grew?
We'll review strategies for covering ground, including low-growing, durable groundcovers such as sedum and moss, low-work-and-water lawn mixes, and flowering perennials. We'll also discuss the ecological importance of groundcovers.They are great landscape problem-solvers, from erosion control to wildlife protection and reduction of mowing.
