Thinking about removing the lawn at your commercial, industrial, institutional or HOA property? 

Join us for a class on turf replacement where we will discuss AB 1572, a new California law that bans the use of drinking water to irrigate nonfunctional turf. Learn how you can transform a landscape into a beautiful, sustainable, and water-efficient landscape. This session covers everything from soil preparation and microclimates to site planning and irrigation strategies that support long-term conservation.

The workshop will guide you through:

• Selecting climate-appropriate plant types 
• Considering turf removal options and rebates
• Planning a new landscape that thrives with less water
• Exploring sustainable landscape techniques and functions
• AB 1572 and your local water district
• An on-site native garden tour after the workshop
