DO TREAD ON ME: Tempting Turfs

When: 7 P.M. OCTOBER 21, 2004
Where: Idaho Botanical Garden
Tempted to try a more drought-tolerant turf? You’ll be coming to the right place October 21 when the members of our three-person panel describe their experiences with blue grama grass (Hilary Parkinson), buffalograss (Beth Workman), and sheep fescue (Chuck Blair). How did they establish their new turf? What problems did they encounter growing these species? What successes have they enjoyed? And, most telling of all, would they do it again? Parkinson, who monitors rare plants for the BLM’s Lower Snake River District, compiled Landscaping with Native Plants of the Intermountain Region. Blair is a wildlife biologist for CH2M Hill, and Workman (whose buffalograss has been growing beneath her feet since 1984) is a freelance graphic artist. Join us in the administrative offices at the garden— in the main cottage near the garden gate. UP NEXT (November 18) .. Roger’s All-Time Favorite Lichens
