Breaking the Grass Ceiling (Part 1):
Native Lawns and Low Growing Meadows
Dave Kaplow
How do we create true native habitat that is compatible with an urban and suburban environment? This lecture focuses on meadow/lawn hybrids, and how they can be used to create natural areas that are also accessible for frequent human use. Dave will emphasize the use of both cool and warm season grasses as the foundational species, as well as the broad leaf perennials that can visually and ecologically complement them. Illustrated applications will range from native lawn on residential properties, to the open areas surrounding business plazas and shopping areas, to the fields and meadows of public parks.
