Beautiful Landscapes with Far Less Water
By learning how to apply just the right amount of water that plants need and using beautiful plants that take less water, you can create a beautiful landscape using far less water. Creating a sustainable landscape can be rather simple while keeping it so requires sustainable maintenance practices. Lynlee will demonstrate sustainability techniques for your landscape to save time, money and habitat while practicing conscientious stewardship of our environment.

Her mother was a botanist and science teacher. Her grandfather and father collected state fair ribbons for their horticultural talents. Her father also worked as a florist. Lynlee described what she wanted to do in her life when she was in undergraduate microbiology and someone told her she was naive. Yet, she now lives that intention by helping to preserve our natural environment and helping others see the joy in nature.
