Award-winning garden photojournalist Debra Lee Baldwin explains how top designers use geometric, architectural succulents to en-hance gardens and containers with spectacular blooms and foliage of every color—including cherry red, sky blue and magenta-black. As Debra shows the wide range of succulents now available, you'll dis-cover how to use these sculptural plants to beautifully express your personal style. Included are low-maintenance, easy-care container arrangements perfect for patios, entryways and decks.

EVENTS IN OUR AREA (CONT’D)
5/8 - 'What To Do With The Lawn', with landscape architect & con-tractor Owen Dell, author of Sustainable Landscaping for Dum-mies. The average 1000-square-foot lawn will cost more than $50,000 to maintain over a 20-year life span. Lawns are the most consumptive and least interesting part of the garden. They offer nothing to wildlife, use more fertilizer in the US than is used in the entire Third World to grow food, necessitate the use of polluting mowing equipment, relent-lessly deplete our limited water supplies, and demand constant atten-tion for very meager rewards. What To Do With The Lawn explores new and exciting options for turf areas. The class will cover design ideas, organic ways to remove an old lawn, alternative low-maintenance meadows, organic lawn-care tricks and tips, how to install new plantings and irrigation & more.
