Summary

This three-acre parcel will be transformed from a thirsty and sparse Kentucky bluegrass field to a vibrant lawn of flowers, grasses, and herbaceous flowering plants. The County expects that the Flower-People-Lawn will save a minimum of 1,570,000 gallons of water annually after establishment, at least an $8,000 annual irrigation water savings. Additional permanent savings are anticipated through the significant decrease in the need for site mowing and the elimination of fertilizers and herbicides.
