How to Convert Lawn to Wildflower Meadow From Seed

Have you been looking to make a more sustainable change to your landscape? Meadows are beautiful dynamic habitats with rich populations of plants, beneficial insects and other vital creatures. Unfortunately, they have been reduced substantially in the last 50 years. Turning over just some of our monoculture lawns or other cultivated areas to meadow can offer year-round forage and habitat for wildlife, improve soil, save water and sequester carbon. Learn how to convert areas of your lawn to a native wildflower meadow from seed in this program with Community Ecologist, Sarah Michehl.
