While meadows are in high demand, effective protocols for designing and implementing them are in short supply. Here we will delve into the nitty gritty of meadow design: site analysis, species selection, seed mix formulation, live plant inclusion, planting and management. The inclusion of shrub thickets and drifts will also be covered, including the arrangement of clonal vs. clump forming species, and the use of shrublands as ecological and visual ‘connective tissue’ between meadow and woods.
Attendees will receive login-protected access to an extensive course manual including plant lists, an ecology-based plant characteristics chart, equipment recommendations, wildlife habitat enhancement strategies, diagrams for planting and maintenance procedures, and more.
Note: If attending individual sessions only, Day 1 is a “recommended” prerequisite to Days 2, 3, 4, & 5.
Applicable Regions: Eastern and Midwestern US (Florida excluded).
Note: This course will have some repeated information from previous intensive design short courses.
