"Creating a Pollinator-Friendly Wildflower Meadow in Your Backyard"

Meadows are a low-maintenance alternative to traditional gardens, but they are not easy to start and require periodic mowing and weed removal. However, proponents say the benefits of planting native plants that attract pollinators and provide refuge for local wildlife make them well worth the effort. Meadow owners have found that meadows are easier to manage than traditional gardens, and they offer a tapestry effect that can reduce weeds. Meadows are also less maintenance than a lawn and can perform well during drought seasons.
