Mums are a popular fall flower—they come in beautiful fall-inspired hues from rusted orange to sunset red. They also start to bloom in fall, when all the summer flowers disappear.
Tips for Designing a Meadow Lawn
28.08.2024 - 15:28 / finegardening.com
I’ve designed, installed, and continue to manage two meadow lawns to date. Through these gardens, as well as my own study in nature and research in references, I’ve learned a lot about what makes an effective meadow garden over the last few years.
The first meadow garden I designed was the ½-acre Prairie Garden at the Gardens on Spring Creek. This garden has recently drawn attention for its inclusion in Claire Takacs and Giacomo Guzzon’s wonderful new book “Visionary: Gardens and Landscapes for our Future.”
Then in 2021, I turned my lawn into a meadow, with complementary flanking beds. The meadow is certainly the main feature of my home yard and is constantly changing, both as things come into and out of interest—whether that be bloom, seed heads, or interesting foliage—and as I change the design to suit my tastes. A substantive, rose flagstone patio, about two-thirds of which my brother kindly helped me lay, acts as a sort of interface for plants and people between the house and the meadow. With the quarry twenty minutes away, the stone is easy to come by in my area for a fair price. It makes for an attractive, warm-toned living space comprised of quickly legible, geometric shapes that contrasts well with busy, flowing, green to tawny meadow vignettes.
Below, I’ll distill three of the crucial concepts for beginner meadow gardeners I have learned through the planning, installation, and reassessing of the gardens above. These tips include one for the hardscape design, one for the planting design and management, and one for the installation. Hopefully this will assist you in designing your very own meadow lawn or garden.
When you are laying out your garden’s perimeter, keep in mind that it is easier to install hardscape at
