Over 60 people turned out for the Rye Healthy Yard Program Speaker Series held by the City of Rye Sustainability Committee & Friends of Rye Nature Center .
Max Apton, Founder, The Farmer's Garden (formerly of Stone Barns Center for Food & Agriculture) and Taro Ietaka, Rye Nature Center, Director of Conservation & Land Stewardship, talked about what is – or should be – in our soil and provided tips for how to cultivate and maintain a healthy lawn. There was audience participation ranging from the novice homeowner to a number of professional landscapers. It is expected Rye TV will post a video of the session.
