Native meadows
of wildflowers and grasses are a wonderful alternative to a large
expanse of high-maintenance mown turf. Unfortunately, misguided
attempts to create meadows, like prepared wildflower seed packages,
all too frequently result in failure, leading to a perception that
meadows may not work in our region.
A meadow is a matrix of
plants that support each other in complex ways throughout their
growth to maturity. No two meadows result in the same successional
pattern or mature plant community due to the many factors that
affect a meadow's development. Creating a stable, healthy meadow
requires horticultural knowledge and meadow making experience in
order to design an appropriate mix for your property conditions and
esthetic desires.
Campbell Natural Landscape Design has the
experience and expertise to design, install and help you maintain a
successful meadow planting for your property.
