Presenter: Graham Laird Gardner


With as little as a few square feet of space, you can grow a beautiful, low-maintenance, naturalistic meadow that supports a diversity of plants, pollinators, and a plethora of other living things - not to mention its visual appeal in your home garden. Find inspiration in natural spaces so you can successfully site, design, plant, and care for your own mini meadow. From site preparation and plant selection, to designing and planting, you’ll learn how to go from a bare canvas to a bright, flower-filled mini meadow, even with minimal gardening experience - including advice on how to care for your wildflower planting for many colorful seasons to come.
