Creating a Wildflower Meadow

Turning a lawn into a wildflower meadow, a beautiful, interactive plant community made up of native flowers, grasses and sedges, can be a rewarding, creative process. Not only do wildflower meadows attract pollinators and help the environment, they also provide important ecosystem services like infiltration and filtration of stormwater, and nutrient recycling. While most of the work is done during the first year, when planning and planting, it can take a few years to ensure its success. Come learn how to establish a wildflower meadow in your yard — choosing a site, selecting plant species, planting, maintenance, long term expectations.
