Meadow Creation for Beginners

Transform a section of your yard into a beautiful, low-maintenance meadow with this hands-on course. You'll learn the complete process from start to finish: assessing your specific site conditions, preparing the soil properly, and choosing native plants that thrive in your region. The instructor will share practical design ideas for any yard size, show you plant combinations that work well together, and help you sidestep common setup and early-care mistakes. The class wraps up with a walk through the garden's meadow displays, where you'll see real examples and discover what makes them successful. Best of all, you'll leave with six native perennial plants ready to get your project started. Wear comfortable walking shoes and dress for outdoor weather. Registration is required, and the cost is $55 for members or $69 for non-members. If you need any accessibility accommodations, reach out to the garden before the event, and they'll do their best to help you participate fully.
