F2P’s CEO Pamela Berstler is looking forward to joining Keith Berns of Green Cover Seed on stage in Costa Mesa at the Soil Water Conservation Society’s (SWCS) 80th annual conference on: Using Cover Crops to Add Biological Diversity to California Agriculture and Landscape on Monday, August 4, 2025 from 10:30am – 12:00 noon at the Hilton Orange County in Costa Mesa, CA.
Here’s a preview of the conversation:
Why remove monoculture lawn to create landscapes that achieve our design objectives when we could keep the grass in place and turn it into the nursemaid for a highly biodiverse and naturalistic “polyculture” lawn?
Pamela will explore the science underlying the Take Back the Turf strategy developed by Flower to the People to provide a low-cost, accessible, watershed-wise, and fun turf replacement solution. This audacious strategy uses classic turf management techniques paired with a highly biodiverse seed mix and stimulated by human “Nike Buffalo” interactions with the site to reduce water requirements, eliminate the use of pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, cool our urban/suburban areas, and boost the opportunities for the native seed bank to thrive.
