Looking to replace a portion of your lawn with a plant community that is not only aesthetically pleasing but also contributes to climate resilience and local biodiversity? Meadowscapes mimic natural grassland systems and provide a dynamic, low-maintenance alternative that supports biodiversity and ecosystem health. Explore the ecological functions of meadows, including their role in improving soil health, supporting pollinators and beneficial insects, and providing food and shelter for birds and other wildlife. You’ll gain an understanding of plant community dynamics, seasonal succession, and how different species interact to create a resilient, self-sustaining system.
This program is designed for individuals who have a foundational knowledge of native plants in the Northeast.
