Pro Tips for a Healthier Lawn and a Healthier Environment

Please join the Great Swamp Watershed Association (GSWA) for a free continental breakfast at the next installment of the organization's seasonal Breakfast Briefing Speakers Series.

On Tuesday, March 11, Peter Coviello, of the Madison-based landscaping firm Coviello Brothers Horticultural Services, will stop by to offer home owners some tips for growing a healthy and environmentally friendly lawn this spring.  Drawing on his family’s 40 years of experience in the landscaping business, Peter will show how careful decision making about landscaping technique, lawn care products, and irrigation can build turf that is beautiful, easy and inexpensive to maintain, and less damaging to nearby rivers, lakes, and streams.

An extensive discussion session will follow the presentation, so participants are encouraged to come prepared with their own questions about lawn care.

To register, please click here or visit GreatSwamp.org.

To register by phone, please call (973) 538-3500 x22.

Seating is limited, so registration is recommended. If you are not a member of GSWA, please consider making a donation of $10/adult in support of this event when you register.

Support for this event and the entire Spring 2014 Breakfast Briefing Series comes from Investors Bank of Madison, located at 16 Waverly Place in Madison, NJ.

GSWA created the Breakfast Briefing Series to help New Jersey residents stay informed about important environmental issues affecting their lives. Briefings take place early in the morning in order to minimize overlap with most traditional business hours. Presentations are kept brief; and coffee, tea, and a continental breakfast are always served free of charge.
