Meadow gardens are taking off! The native plants used in them support pollinators—and need very little water once established. We asked garden designer Molly Hendry, whose own meadow garden features grasses and a "rolling chorus of blooms through the growing season," for her tips. Find the interview link in the comments ⬇️

Big day … 147 native, high wildlife value plants in the ground here in Ada 😎 💪

Note: hostas were not included in the count … they were simply relocated from another spot.

Another beautiful day to be a native plant landscaper 🙂

Removed a bunch of Japanese barberry and this toad came to thank me (or maybe she was like … hey, what did you do to my tick factory????)

Golden Alexanders and Wild Columbine still going strong in this pollinator paradise ♥️ 💛 💚

No filter… natural genetic variation in Southern blue flag iris - Iris virginica. Wild type native plants (not cultivars) have unique genomes which allows for evolution and species robustness. When diseases and pests come around, it’s the natural diversity of a population that allows for species survival. Cultivars or “nativars” are cultivated from the same strain, resulting in zero variation and high susceptibility to being wiped out.
