Description

While seed mix formulation can look simple, long-term meadow success is rooted in a detailed understanding of individual species characteristics, how to quantify those species, how they fit together to form a community, and their roles in the various stages of meadow development. He will also discuss how to overlay various mitigation requirements, as well as the aesthetic preferences of the client.

Through his experience with Larry Weaner Landscape Associates (LWLA) and his encyclopedic knowledge of native plants, Ethan is uniquely qualified to enhance your ability to design and oversee successful native meadows.
