Tiny and Wild

Offert en anglais seulement

Go low-maintenance and no-mow while supporting nature and biodiversity by planting a mini wildflower meadow. While meadows are often imagined as broad, expansive prairies covering acres of land, they don’t have to be big to make a significant environmental impact. With as little as a few square feet of space, you can create a beautiful, naturalistic landscape that supports a diversity of plants, pollinators and other living things. 

Author and landscape designer Graham Laird Gardner helps you find inspiration in natural spaces so you can successfully site, design, plant and care for your small-scale meadow. Whether you live in the city or in suburbia, his book brings fresh ideas to often-overlooked spaces, from the small corner of your yard to the pocket-sized area between your house and driveway or the strip between the sidewalk and street. Reclaim that awkward spot along your property line or flanking the side way or along the mailbox, or set up a raised bed garden, container, deck box or patio pots. 

With the right varieties and know-how, any small space can be transformed into a thriving meadow.
