Guarding Your Turf:  Program Offers Tips for Lawns in Fall

             Think fall time means you can stop thinking about your lawn care?  Think again!  Fall is perhaps the most important time of year for lawn care.  To help get ready for the winter, Jackson Community College will host an informational program on Putting Your Lawn to Bed in the Fall, at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, October 10 at the JCC Lenawee Center, and again 9:30 a.m. Saturday, October 19, at the Dahlem Environmental Education Center.

             This fun and informative session will help homeowners explore fall lawn care practices -- fertilizing, mowing, watering, etc. -- that will improve turf quality and maintain healthy grass.  Topics will include high and low lawn maintenance strategies and how they affect the biology of your grass. The workshop will emphasize environmentally responsible lawn practices.

            This is a one-hour program with question-and-answer time, taught by Jon F. Powell, instructor of biology at JCC.  A complementary program will be offered in March to discuss getting your lawn started in the spring of 2003.

            So before the snow flies, find out about how to care for your lawn at this free event open to the public.  The JCC Lenawee Center if located on Maple Avenue in Adrian.  Dahlem Center is located on South Jackson Road, just west of the main campus.
