Native Grasses: A Sustainable Choice for Golf Courses and Landscapes

Native grasses offer a wide range of benefits for golf courses and other landscapes. They are not only visually appealing but also contribute to the health of the ecosystem by supporting local wildlife and pollinators. These grasses require less water and maintenance compared to traditional turf, making them an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option. Their deep root systems help prevent soil erosion, improve drainage, and enhance soil health.

By using native grasses, golf course superintendents and landscape designers can reduce their dependence on fertilizers and pesticides, improving the overall quality of the soil and water. Native grasses are also resilient in varying weather conditions, ensuring your landscape stays lush and beautiful throughout the seasons.

A Trusted Partner in Sustainability

By working with Jim Culley and Seed King Enterprises, Audubon International is proud to provide golf courses and landscapes with the tools and expertise needed to enhance the ecological health of their properties. Together, we can make a lasting impact on the environment and create landscapes that are beautiful, sustainable, and supportive of local wildlife.
