There are SOOOO many ways to design your ideal garden and this includes your grass. We know folks who looove a manicured lawn and take pride in caring for it all season long. I mean, there's an entire sub culture on YouTube dedicated to lawn mowing videos. On the flip side, we also know folks who prefer low maintenance and perhaps not to keep a lawn. Both are right answers and this is a judgement-free zone. Your yard, your preference. We have a whole lawncare episode featuring Shelley Vance of Scott's Canada exploring the traditional lawn that you should absolutely check out next. Find that link down below! But, if you're reading this right now, then chances are you're seeking an alternative. Lawn alternatives have been picking up in popularity over the past few years, and we think you'll be surprised at all the different options there are to fit your lifestlye and budget.    *************************  In this weeks episode .... 00:00 | Introduction 04:00 | Sedum Turf 08:40 | Clover 10:20 | Chickweed 11:40  | Seasonal Considerations  13:20 | Artificial Options 16:40 | Thoughts on Artificial Turf 25:20 | Alternative ways to cut the lawn?! 34:00 | Future of Garden Centres and Choice 37:40 | Question of the Week 40:40 | Next Week....   *************************  RESOURCES Lawncare Tips W/ Shelley Vance of Scott's Canada  Learn more about Sedum Turf  Eagle Lake Landscape Supply City of Calgary Goat Program Sedum 'autumn joy' >>>    *************************  Have a question or a comment for the Helpful Gardeners?
