Fort Collins workshop teaches sustainable lawn care for Colorado's tough climate

A practical lawn care workshop is coming to Fort Collins this month. Titled Best Lawn on the Block, the session will run on Saturday, January 31, from 9:30 to 11 a.m. at Fort Collins Nursery. Registration costs £18, with expert guidance on maintaining healthy grass in Colorado's tough conditions.

The event is led by Alison O'Connor, a horticulture specialist with Colorado State University Extension in Larimer County. She will cover essential topics like mowing techniques, smart fertilisation, and efficient irrigation. Attendees will also learn about low-maintenance turfgrass species suited to the region's climate.

The workshop aims to cut through confusing advice and offer science-backed strategies. Participants will discover how to improve their lawns without excessive water use or chemical reliance. The focus remains on realistic, sustainable methods tailored to local challenges.

Residents looking to enhance their lawns can sign up for the session at Fort Collins Nursery. The £18 fee includes expert instruction on practical, eco-friendly lawn care. Organisers hope the workshop will help homeowners achieve healthier grass with fewer resources.
