This guide, co-authored by Alice, while at Mahan Rykiel Associates, and Stephanie Frischie of the Xerces Society, outlines the unique considerations for native meadows in landscape architecture, with the goal of helping green industry professionals in the mid-Atlantic create successful meadow projects. We provide an overview of the benefits of native meadows and how to establish them from seed. (For the purposes of this guide, a meadow refers to a plant community made up of native grasses, sedges, and forbs, grown from seed.) This is not a complete manual, but rather a foundation to inspire more consideration and use of meadows, while also setting expectations and planning requirements for site preparation, installation, maintenance, and adaptive management. We highlight the advantages of successful meadow projects and provide a framework for addressing their challenges.
