"In Lawns Into Meadows, landscape designer Owen Wormser makes a case for the power and generosity of meadows. In a world where lawns have wreaked havoc on our natural ecosystems, meadows offer a compelling solution. They establish wildlife and pollinator habitats. They're low-maintenance and low-cost. They have a built-in resilience that helps them weather climate extremes, and they can draw down and store far more carbon dioxide than any manicured lawn. They're also beautiful, all year round. Owen describes how to plant an organic meadow that's right for your site, whether it's a yard, community garden, or tired city lot. He shares advice on preparing your plot, coming up with the right design, and planting--all without using synthetic chemicals. He passes along tips on building support in neighborhoods where a tidy lawn is the standard. Owen also profiles twenty-one starter grasses and flowers for beginning meadow-makers, and offers guidance on how to grow each one. To illuminate the many joys of meadow-building, Owen draws on his own stories, including how growing up off the grid in northern Maine, with no electricity or plumbing, prepared him for his work. The book, part how-to guide and part memoir, is for environmentalists and climate activists, gardeners and non-gardeners alike"--Amazon.com. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

This ties into some of my most puzzling concerns: what grasses are native, how do I identify them, what collections of native plants are found in the ecosystem of an oak savannah and how do I rehabilitate the degraded remnants of this plant community? There are not enough hints, let alone outright answers to these questions.
Still it's a good start. Doug Tallamy's books are unquestionably better on the why-to grow native plants and why-not-to grow lawns, but here's Owen Wormser with meadows and that's a good message. I am glad that my public library had this book available to borrow. ( )
