Design Meadows and Naturalized Plantings for a Human Landscape

Meadows and other naturalized landscapes are often imagined as capturing nature’s patterns and benefiting local ecology. Yet, to gain acceptance in a human setting, a great deal of planning—and some compromise--​may be required. We’ll consider topics such as scale, proximity to visitors, sightlines, pathways, edges, seating, signs, standards of care, the dormant season, and more. We'll especially talk about the perennially interesting topic of plant heights. This talk explores form and setting, not specific plant selections or layering.
