Urban and Suburban Meadows: Bringing Meadowscaping to Big and Small Spaces
Online/Virtual
With over 48 million acres of lawn in the U.S., Urban & Suburban Meadows is a film aimed at helping people just say NO to thirsty, pesticide ridden, energy consuming lawns.
This independent film outlines the problems caused by the extensive planting of pesticide-ridden, non-native grass lawns across America. Meadow experts Michael Nadeau, Larry Weaner, and Neil Diboll walk the viewer through meadow site preparation, design, planting, and maintenance. Plus Doug Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home, explains the intricate connection between native plants, native insects, and the soil food web.
Author and photographer, Catherine Zimmerman combines her expertise in photography, storytelling, environmental issues, horticulture, and organic practices to offer meadowscaping as an alternative to reduce lawn. The film brings into focus the amazing diversity of life inhabiting meadows and prairies and the beautiful imagery inspires meadow and prairie creation!
