Where science meets practice
*This is the third of seven Intensive Course sessions, and can be purchased individually or as part of the Full Bundle. Sessions 1 & 2 are recommended prerequisites for subsequent sessions.
Presenter: Larry Weaner, FAPLD
Wildflower meadows and native grasslands are in high demand, but effective protocols for successfully achieving 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 a 100+ page, login-protected course manual.
Applicable Regions: Eastern and Midwestern U.S. (Florida excluded).
Note: This course will have some repeated information from previous intensive design short courses.
