IRWA Backyard Makeover... October 18th

Hi Janet,
I was wondering whether you might be able to spread the word to your Garden Club group about a great event we are hosting on October 18th here at our headquarters in Ipswich.

Kate Hone will present her native landscaping journey. Kate’s one-third acre parcel with 91 feet of Ipswich River riverfront is  just downstream from the IRWA’s Riverbend headquarters. Over one season, with help from a Slow the Flow Grant from Parker River National Wildlife Refuge, Kate replaced non native species and barren mulched areas with drought tolerant and native plants. She also removed all impervious buried plastic sheeting from all areas of property, shrunk the lawn footprint and added rain barrels for irrigation. Come see the transformation process and learn first hand how to apply it to your property. Optional site visit to follow.
