EHP's Lawn Area Gets a Makeover

As we all waited for the pandemic to end, EHP made plans to get our campus ready to bring back events such as Blockfest, Santa’s House and Make a Wish Birthday parties, all cancelled due to Covid-19 restrictions. Part of this entailed deciding what to do with the lawn area. Planting a new lawn in the face of California’s ongoing drought and the regular maintenance it would require didn’t seem like a feasible plan. Yet, we couldn’t leave it as a bare plot of dirt if we wanted to hold children’s activities and parties outside. We wanted something that didn’t need regular watering or required a lot of manpower to maintain yet looked beautiful and pastoral. We had been thinking of installing artificial turf, but it was very cost prohibitive. Fortunately, we found Green Works ATS whose owner, Cristian, was willing to help us out. Within a few months, EHP was sporting a new look, one that everyone agrees looks fabulous!
