Meadow Making with Randy Burroughs

After Randy's program last week I have the courage to start on my meadow - finally. His lecture was full of practical advice and inspiration, and I loved his passion for protecting and fostering our native environment. The day was beautiful and our Greenway was the perfect laboratory for our walk. I have a new appreciation for such common natives as Broomsedge, Partridge Pea, Purple Top Grass, Wooly Witch Grass - even Rabbit Tobacco. Thanks to Randy for that - and for the beautiful, healthy plants he brought to share. Watch next summer for the Cardinal Flowers blooming along the Greenway. And here's the book he mentioned but didn't remember title:

I, too, was motivated to begin a meadow.  And, as a result of Randy's find presentation, I began noticing some quite exceptional meadows right in my own neighborhood.  Randy's passionate comments on how a meadow creates a habitat for all kinds of creatures native to our environment was especially inspiring.
