Learn management techniques we use here in our Meadow Garden and how to apply them to your own landscape; get plant recommendations for establishing a meadow; and take part in a fun hands-on demonstration. You’ll leave with the knowledge you’ll need to transform your lawn into a beautiful—and beneficial—meadow.
