Meadows

by Christopher Lloyd, Erica Hunningher

In Meadows, Christopher Lloyd explores the development and management of established meadow areas, ways of starting from scratch in a garden setting, and the hundreds of beautiful grasses, bulbs, and colorful perennials that thrive in different conditions. Lloyd's own experimental prairie is a springboard to discussing North American prairies and the plants that provide swathes of color in late summer and interest into winter. Filled with hundreds of specially commissioned photographs, this book provides a captivating guide for anyone wishing to preserve pasture lands, cultivate native species, and attract wildlife.

Lovely book. Plenty of words, which is strange for a gardening book. I don't think I'll really read it until I have/need/want a meadow! (They surely are pretty!)

Lovely book. Perfect daydream on a snowy day...
