Larry will discuss integrating traditional perennial design techniques with compositional patterns of the native meadow. The naturally indpisred perennial layer in the mixed woody/herbaceous landscape can serve as a dynamic transition from, or alternative to, a true wildflower meadow.

Does mowed turf really need to be the default treatment for everything beyond the foundation planting? In this presentation, Mr. Weaner will explore practical ways to adapt the ground layer compositions found in our native woodlands, wetlands, and meadows to the residential landscape. Examples shown will range from estates to intimate properties and will illustrate all facets of creating these easily-managed, ecologically-sound, and visually-striking landscape treatments.
