Small-Scale Meadow Workshop with Bountiful Backyards and Rachel's Native Plants

This workshop will review basic engineered meadow ecology, site selection, soil preparation, seed mixes, perennial grasses' role in native wildflower plantings, and our top easy, beautiful, & rewarding plants for pollinators and beneficial insects. Participants will come away from this workshop with a deeper understanding of native flowering perennials as well as the practical skills to implement these beautiful habitats at the home, farm, or community-scale. In the last 45 minutes, we will plant a mini-meadow together! Workshop participants will take home a meadow initial site prep amendment mix from Bountiful Backyards and 15% off plants at Rachel's Native Plants* (day of workshop only).

When: Sunday, February 18th 10:30 am - 12 pm

Where: Rachel’s Native Plants 141 Lorax Lane Pittsboro, NC

Workshop Policies

We offer workshops mainly as a way of giving back, providing opportunities for people that may not be able to afford our services but want to learn, grow, and meet like-minded people. Suggested donations are just that: a suggestion of what the raw costs are for us to cover our time setting up the workshops, pay teachers we collaborate with, and pay ourselves for our time teaching. If you feel it’s worth more, we welcome higher donations! If you cannot afford the suggested donation, no sweat, give what you can.
