Urban meadow at Christ Church Episcopal, summer 2016.
|
Meadows filled with hardy, drought tolerant native plants that appeal to bees, caterpillars, butterflies, and birds help restore biodiverse habitats essential to plant, animal, and human life. Meadows also supplant invasive species, cool the earth, and soak up rainwater, preventing deluges from polluting our streams, rivers, and oceans—and, thus, protect our water supply. In addition, after the first month, native plants thrive without intensive watering. |
