Many homeowners in the Puget Sound region are faced with the challenge of gardening on a slope that may currently be covered with a dangerous-to-mow lawn, difficult-to-access garden beds, or multiple grades. This class will cover all you need to know about replacing hard-to-manage slopes with beautiful, easy-care plantings: how to carry out critical soil-building steps without de-stabilizing your slope, plants that will help your soil and prevent erosion, proper planting techniques, summer watering and irrigation, and more. There are a host of solutions to this challenge that can result in a healthy, low-maintenance landscape!
