Landscape designer Owen Wormser explains how to replace the
deadscape we call lawn with low-maintenance, eco-friendly meadows.
In this second edition of his award-winning book, he includes
photos of meadows in progress plus more ways to cultivate your own
organic meadow. This how-to book on growing your own wildflowers
and native grasses is also about sustainability, regeneration, and
beauty. In a world where lawns have wreaked havoc on our natural
ecosystems, meadows offer a compelling solution. It is garden
landscaping that is beautiful, all year round. Meadows establish
wildlife and pollinator habitats, are low-maintenance and low-cost,
have a built-in resilience that helps them weather climate
extremes, and can draw down and store far more carbon dioxide than
any manicured lawn. Wormser describes how to plant an organic
meadow garden or traditional meadow, that's right for your site.
His book includes guidance on: Preparing your site Designing your
meadow Planting without using synthetic chemicals Growing 21
starter native grasses and wildflowers, including butterfly weed,
smooth blue aster, purple coneflower, wild bergamot, blue grama
grass, switchgrass, and many more Building support in neighborhoods
where a tidy lawn is the standard. He also shares 28 color photos
that highlight the multitude of ways you can cultivate your own
organic meadow. To illuminate the many joys of meadow-building,
Wormser draws on his own stories, including how growing up off the
grid in northern Maine, with no electricity or plumbing, prepared
him for his work.
