Talk: The Rise & Fall of the Great American Lawn

Thursday, Mar. 19, 2026 · 7 pm - 9 pm
Longmont Museum 400 Quail Rd., Longmont, CO 80501

Photographs of a traditional brick house with a green manicured lawn in front.

A conversation with Emily Maeda, Tree of Life Landscapes and Michael Guidi, Denver Botanic Gardens

 

Along with a white picket fence, a perfectly manicured expansive lawn has long been synonymous with the American Dream. However, in terms of biodiversity and the environment, they’re a disaster. Join us as we trace the history of the American lawn and offer up some alternatives along the way.

 

This program is part of our Thursday Nights @ the Museum series. Join us every Thursday from Jan. 22 until May 7 for concerts, films, and free talks in the Longmont Museum’s Stewart Auditorium.
