Three members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/ncseagrant.ncsu.edu\/program-areas\/healthy-ecosystems\/coastal-landscapes\/\">Coastal Landscapes Initiative<\/a>, an effort to support nature-enhancing landscaping, will offer tips on how to create a yard that\u2019s beautiful, functional, and environmentally friendly.
