Association to Preserve Cape Cod present <i>Grow Your Own Meadow, Large

<br>
If you’ve ever wanted to add the beautiful chaos of a healthy flowering
meadow to your landscape, this presentation will demystify the steps.
Kathy Connolly will discuss the definition of a meadow, meadow ecology,
the role of native plant species, and steps you can take right now to
start planting a new meadow or encourage an existing meadow to grow.
She’ll discuss the challenges of integrating a meadow into more
conventional landscape settings. She'll also discuss deer and other
pests, sources of supply, helpful books, and websites.<br>
