The Meadowscaping Handbook: Designing, Planting and Managing an Urban Meadow is a compilation of knowledge and “lessons learned” by regional ecologists and landscape professionals. It is not meant to be a technical manual, rather the handbook is designed as a “how-to” publication to help gardeners, landscape professionals, and ecologists in the Willamette Valley plan, design, plant, and maintain native plant meadows on small urban plots.
This publication was produced through a collaborative effort with members of the Pacific Northwest Urban Meadowscaping working group and other ecologists and landscape professionals in the Portland Metro region. It is a unique handbook with the latest knowledge small-scale Willamette Valley urban meadows and the important habitat features they support.
