Meadows are now one of the more popular native garden types for homeowner landscapes, yet many people remain baffled by how to create one with long-lasting beauty that won’t quickly become overrun by weeds. Using the Old Meadow at Garden in the Woods as an example, Anna Fialkoff, staff Horticulturalist, discusses the first three years of establishing a meadow including design concepts, plant selection, installation, management, pitfalls, and surprising insights gained along the way. The class will be held Saturday, July 20 from 10:30 – 12:30 and is co-sponsored by the Native Plant Trust and the Ecological Landscape Alliance. $26 for members of sponsoring organizations, $32 for nonmembers.
