From Gray to Green: Native Plants in Parking Strips and Side
Yards, a talk by Carrie Jensen.
Break up your concrete. Rip out your lawn. Replace those
thirsty plants. Learn how to turn your parking strip or side garden into a
haven for drought-tolerant native plants that provide color and texture
year-round. Leave with great ideas for appropriate plants, whether you have
full sun exposure or the dappled shade of a street tree.
