MEADOW CREATION
FOR BEGINNERS

Learn how to turn your garden into a thriving meadow! This course will cover different aspects of home meadow creation, including design techniques, steps for preparation, how to choose plants appropriate for our area and your specific project, how to actually find the plants for your projects, and some troubleshooting tips to avoid common issues. We will also cover some commonly recommended plant combinations for different sizes of landscape. At the conclusion of the lecture we will take a 30 minute walk through the garden to view examples of some of our selected plant species growing together. Students will be able to take home a customized Mix & Match 6 Pack of native plants from Parallel Nursery (landscaping plug size, compostable container).
