For decades, the classic Aussie lawn has defined our outdoor lifestyle, but it comes at a cost to biodiversity, soil health and water resources.
This Sustainable Gardening Australia session explores the hidden impacts of traditional lawns and the resources they demand. It looks at smarter ways to manage lawns for better carbon storage and foraging value, or how to replace them entirely with low-maintenance, no-mow alternatives.
You’ll learn the pros and cons of different approaches, why artificial turf isn’t a solution, and how to establish and care for resilient groundcover plants that work with nature, not against it.
