Municipal Codes for Gardeners & Stewards - Wednesday, October 2, 2024 from 12-1pm CST via Zoom

As the turf lawn falls further out of fashion and native plants surge in popularity, gardeners across Illinois have struggled to stay compliant with their municipality’s landscaping ordinances. These codes dictate everything from what kind of plants a homeowner can grow to where they can plant it and how it must be maintained. Tune in to this webinar for guidance on how to keep compliant with your city’s code, information about recent changes in state law, and how cities are trying to accommodate their residents' surge in interest in ecologically-friendly backyards. 

If you have any questions or need a reasonable accommodation to participate, please contact Abigail Garofalo at aeg9@illinois.edu. Early requests are strongly encouraged to allow sufficient time to meet your needs.
