Native Lawns: Biodiversity, Beauty, and Function (RECORDING) | April 16, 2024
1.25 Hrs Virtual | Kristine Boys
In this presentation Kristine will illustrate the results of her multi-year native lawn experiments at Cornell Botanic Gardens. She will discuss the species selection criterion, planting protocols, and management procedures that were employed. She will also discuss the native plant/insect/animal interactions that occurred during these trials, as well as the experimental lawn's ability to sustain itself over time with minimal additional inputs. Particularly when associated with other native plantings, these lawns can provide a key component for the maintenance reduction, habit creation, and visual delights that so many of today’s property owners desire.

We want to thank our Institutional Ally:
Kristine (Krissy) Boys was introduced to native plant gardening in 1989 by the influential naturalist FM Mooberry, founder of The Millersville Native Plant Conference and the native plant gardens of the Brandywine Conservancy. Krissy has been a gardener for Cornell Botanic Gardens since 1992 and a Finger Lakes Native Plant Society founding member. Krissy is a speaker throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, focusing on the topics of propagating, gardening, and restoring natural areas with regionally native plants.
