Creating a Pollinator Meadow: Part I - Site Preparation

Call for Volunteers

Learn how to prepare a native meadow on at this community garden site. We will lay tarps on an area about 10' x 87' which is currently mown. The tarps will be held in place with the sandbags. Over the spring and summer, the tarps will smother the existing plants enabling us to sow meadow seeds this fall.  Watch for the volunteer meadow seeding event in November. This meadow installation is designed to support pollinators.

This meadow project is in partnership with the Vassar College Community Gardens.
