Landscape designer Owen Wormser explains how to replace the deadscape we call lawn with low-maintenance, eco-friendly meadows. This is an award-winning, how-to book on meadow-making that's also about sustainability, regeneration, and beauty.In a world where lawns have wreaked havoc on our natural ecosystems, meadows offer a compelling solution. It is garden landscaping that is beautiful, all year round. Meadows establish wildlife and pollinator habitats, are low-maintenance and low-cost, have a built-in resilience that helps them weather climate extremes, and can draw down and store far more carbon dioxide than any manicured lawn. Wormser describes how to plant an organic meadow garden or traditional meadow, that’s right for your site. His book includes guidance on:Preparing your plotDesigning your meadowPlanting without using synthetic chemicalsGrowing 21 starter native grasses and wildflowers, including butterfly weed, smooth blue aster, purple coneflower, wild bergamot, and many more.He also includes tips on building support in neighborhoods where a tidy lawn is the standard, and how to become a meadow activist. To illuminate the many joys of meadow-building, Wormser 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.

I bought this book because of a $249 water bill I got in June, for ONE month! I live in the suburbs of New York City, and having a green lawn is kind of a necessity, but I wondered if there was an alternative. A friend of mine who is convinced his dog died after eating pesticide-treated grass told me he was letting his lawn go natural. That intrigued me, and after doing a little research, I bought this book. It is eye opening! There are certainly environmental benefits to planting a meadow (not least of which is reduction in noise pollution from all the lawnmowers and leaf blowers I have been listening to during my pandemic wfh), but there is a dramatic cost savings from cutting water usage and eliminating lawn maintenance. The thing I couldn’t get my head around was how do I do this in the suburbs? Will the neighbors think I’ve gone nuts? And what about ticks! All my questions were answered in the chapter on “Community Building.” I don’t have to go all “meadow” right away, I can go a little bit at a time. In fact, I realize I’ve been doing something like this over the past few years, reducing the size of the lawn and adding new beds of flowers, including some of the flowers in this book like Purple Coneflowers and Black-eyed Susans. As for ticks, keep some mowed barriers around the meadow grasses, so people and animals don’t come in contact with them. This book is a step by step guide on how to prep the site, seed the ground and maintain the meadow going forward (mow it once a year...yeah, that’s it). Well written, a quick read and informative. I’m inspired to plant some grasses in a little section in the back yard this fall and see how it goes from there.
