Garden Meadows - 25th July 2026

Overview

A look at composing, managing, and caring for meadows, long grass areas and cultivating wildflowers within garden settings. Gardened meadows are distinctly different from grassland meadows managed for hay, although they can be just as diverse. Some gardens with richer soils and tree cover can still recreate a “meadow” planting with careful choices of plants and good management systems. During this workshop we will discuss:·      Different ground preparation techniques and meadow making. ·      Meadow plants, weeds and seeds. ·      The ecological value of native grasslands.·      Working with ‘wild’ aesthetics to cultivate a beautiful meadowscape.
·      Managing meadows as an evolving habitat and plant community.
