Sustainable Rossmoor to host presentation on how to create healthier community landscapes

Join Sustainable Rossmoor on Friday, Oct. 9 at 1 p.m. in Dollar Clubhouse for a conversation about how organic and regenerative landscaping practices can create healthier, safer and more resilient community landscapes.

Because residential landscapes serve as everyday spaces for residents, children, pets and wildlife to enjoy, the way they are maintained matters. This presentation will explore how reducing synthetic chemicals, improving soil health, supporting pollinators and using water more efficiently can help communities enjoy beautiful landscapes while promoting a healthier outdoor environment for everyone who uses them.

Drawing from decades of landscape management experience throughout the Bay Area, Mike Gachina will share practical examples of how sustainable landscape stewardship can improve plant health, reduce water consumption, increase drought resilience, and create outdoor spaces that are safer for families and pets.

Attendees will learn why healthy soil is the foundation of a thriving landscape, and how small changes in maintenance practices can deliver long-term benefits for both the community and the environment. Plenty of time will be reserved for questions and discussion.
