Living Field Lab: From Monoculture Lawn to A Diverse Landscape
This series aims to fill the gap between theory and practice. Tours of home gardens will serve as real-world case studies of landscape projects. Onsite discussions with homeowners and Brookside Gardens staff will offer applicable lessons in design and maintenance. Plant lists provided for each Field Lab. Addresses of tour locations will be sent after registration.
This two-acre garden teeming with perennials, more than 100 trees, and 6 ponds offers lessons in converting a monoculture lawn into a diverse landscape. Discover strategies to edit your garden in response to the challenges and opportunities that come from an evolving environment over time. Understand how site-specific factors in a part-sun/shade garden determine plant selections and maintenance approaches.
