"How to Make a Meadow Wildflower Garden"

Planning, preparation, and patience are key elements of developing a wildflower meadow. In this program, Pernell discusses site evaluation, choosing wildflowers suited to the site, soil preparation, plant combinations, meadow wildflower seed mixes, and weed control. The program highlights some of the best meadow wildflowers and shows examples of wildflower meadows in different seasons. Each meadow wildflower is illustrated and described in detail. The program discusses proper growing conditions and how to create your own meadow wildflower garden with only nursery-propagated, non-wild-collected wildflowers and seed mixes. Included is a question & answer session after the program as well as a plant sale of rare, hard-to-find, and useful plants and gardening products.
