Hosts check out ornamental plants that substitute a lawn

PREMIERES SUNDAY, JUNE 28 at 9:00 PM on City TV, Channel 18
Owen Dell & Billy Goodnick get arrested for being overzealous about removing lawns in Santa Barbara. Their sentence is to do an entire show on lawn alternatives. In this 30-minute episode, you'll learn how to manage your lawn more sustainably, replace it with ornamentals & hardscape, try water-wise lawn alternative plants that use a fraction of the water, or use your front yard to grow food. With so many options, there's never been a better time to trade your lawn for a beautiful, functional, sustainable landscape!
