Meadow Progression
Before
The site for the new meadow was chosen. For this project, one of our designers visited and designed on-site in the chill of February 2018.
Initial Planting
The site has been prepared by killing off pre-existing vegetation and tilling. Then our specialized equipment created furrows, planted the seeds, and closed the furrows again in one pass. This meadow was planted in May 2019 (after a year of site preparation).
One Year After Seeding
By June 2020, rudbeckia and bergamot are blooming in this meadow. Some sites bloom the first year after being planted, but this one took longer than others to germinate. Meadows can teach us patience!
