Try This Not That: Turfgrass and Groundcovers

Between television commercials promoting green, healthy lawns and online influencers trumpeting climate-savvy lawn alternatives, the average gardener or homeowner would need a bushhog to cut through the noise. Join A. Stradley, Duke Gardens' visitor experience coordinator and trained horticulturist, for a stroll through the gardens to learn how we develop turfgrass and groundcover solutions that balance our commitment to climate-resilient gardening and our passion for high-impact beauty - and how you can too! Fee: $18; free for Duke Gardens members with discount code. Parking fees apply. Location: meet at the Gothic Gate entrance Accessibility: This will be a small group program that takes place outdoors, and participants will travel on paved paths with some moderate inclines.
