Many people consider reducing lawns, converting hayfields, cleaning out weed patches, and otherwise transforming landscapes into pollinator gardens or meadows with native plants. Site preparation is critical, but it is often overlooked in the quest for a finished appearance. This two-hour session covers planning, practices, timelines, and online sources of information that will help you thoroughly prepare a site. The seminar includes an extensive discussion of non-chemical weed removal methods, as well as an extensive handout.
