Thinking that your lawn may not be either sustainable or environmentally responsible? Wanting to get away from using copious amounts of water, as well as herbicides to kill the weeds? In this presentation, Denise Mitchell shares her journey as she set out to remove her lawn without using any toxic chemicals or rototilling and replace it with a native landscape of chaparral, coastal sage scrub, and desert plants. Learn how you can change from a monoculture to one with high biodiversity, welcome more bees, butterflies, and birds for pollination, and create a healthier soil microbiome.
Denise came to love California native plants while she was working on her master’s thesis in Plant Biology at UCR from 2019 - 2021. Spending time at her field sites in Palm Desert, San Jacinto Mountains, and North San Diego County became her happy place. Shortly after finishing at UCR, she retired from a twenty-five-year career as a high school science teacher and moved from Riverside to Fallbrook. She now enjoys teaching part-time the UC ANR California Naturalist course at Norco College and Botany courses at UCR. Hanging out with her Golden Doodle, Oscar, and the California natives in her backyard is a real treat.
