Replacing turfgrass with a native meadow can support biodiversity, improve ecological function, and create a more dynamic home landscape. But meadow establishment is not an instant process. It requires careful observation, realistic expectations, and management that changes as the plant community develops.
Sara will walk participants through her family’s gradual transition from lawn to meadow, a project featured by The New York Times in 2024 and the BBC in 2025. Rather than presenting a single formula, she will show how the project has evolved through experimentation, ecological processes, and ongoing learning.
