Meadows & Prairies

Pictures of Meadows & Prairies?

17 years ago

I was just looking at Gary's picures of his beautiful meadow again and thinking that I'd like to see more. Do any of you have pictures of your meadows/prairies to share? Can you recommend books, magazines, or websites with good pictures? I may have asked this question before. I've tried doing a search, but the Gardenweb search engine doesn't seem to be working right now.

Thanks,

Bill

Bill, I recommend for your consideration The Nature Conservancy's "Tallgrass Prairie," Madson/Oberle; and "Last Stand of the Tallgrass Prairie," Larrabee/Altman.

Best regards, MWB

Check out my website, check out some of the books I recommend on my website. Visit some local prairies.

I have pictures of my yard on my website too.

Wow, I love your sunny prairie garden! I just sowed seeds in early March on a 2500 sq. foot area with a variety wild flowers for my area (the Pacific Northwest). I see little seedlings starting to pop up now. The pictures on your website are exactly how I hope it will look in a few years!

Thanks for sharing!
