This suburban lawn eradication workshop will be the first in a series of Lawrence Food Not Lawns hands-on workshops, to help people get their front yard food garden started.  This one day crop mob will have multiple outcomes.  It will bring together many hands to help the homeowner eradicate turf grass and jump start her front yard food garden.  It will be an opportunity for workshop participants to learn how to do it.  It will begin a cycle of mutual aid workshops at the homes of any participants who care to do similar.  And it will be a community demonstration of the potential for transforming acres of lawngrass wasteland into productive food gardens.  More info is available at - Intro to Lawn Eradication_2016 Class & Workshop

Lawrence Food Not Lawns, which is a program of Sustainability Action, hosted Heather Flores last year to launch of our local chapter.  Heather and Tobias Policha co-founded the original Food Not Lawns in 1999, and she has since written a book by the same name - Food Not Lawns: by Heather Flores.

$15.  But it's by free-will offering, so no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Cara,
Were asking  $15 or what you can afford for the November 11th presentation. The hands on lawn eradication is a party(something to celebrate).  Bring something for the potluck after the lawn be gone. Teachers are volunteering. Proceeds go to Lawrence Food Not Lawns and I believe they are tax deductible.  Lawrence Food Not Lawns  is a project of Sustainability Action Network.
