The Fayette County Extension Office will offer two free classes in May for area residents looking to improve their lawn and yard and to have a better knowledge of how to appropriately fertilize.

Want to Win Yard of the Month?

Fertilizing, aerating, or even establishing your yard can be a confusing process. To take out the confusion, the Fayette County Extension Office is offering a free class to get you on your way to that lush, green look you’ve always wanted. The class will be held on May 9 at 6:15 p.m. in the Fayette County Extension Office, room 209A in the Fayette County Administrative Complex and will conclude around 7:40 p.m.

The Extension Office will be hosting Dr. Murphy and Dr. Waltz, turf specialist from the University of Georgia. They will be discussing general grass maintenance, how and when to fertilize, when and how to aerate, how to control those pesky weeks, and how to get rid of the weeds you have.

Bring your curiosity and confusion and leave with the knowledge you need. Space is limited for this class; therefore we ask that you pre-register a seat. To pre-register or for more information please give us a call at 770-460-5730 Ext. 5412
