Fall is the best season to plant a new lawn or rejuvenate a landscape in need of care. Warm days and cool nights create ideal growing conditions for lawn grasses while discouraging competition by weeds. Caring for your new or existing lawn by using organic practices builds soil health, further improving the conditions for a healthy, weed-free lawn.

Please register for these free workshops by contacting Anne Capra at the Pioneer Valley Planning Commission at acapra@pvpc.org or (413) 781-6045. Refreshments will be served and attendees will have the opportunity to win door prizes.
