Meadow Project at the Technology Farm

Abstract

An area at the Technology Farm in Geneva is being developed as a meadow by an IPM intern from FLCC, in order to get hands on experience with low input alternatives to traditional lawns. The meadow will serve as a demonstration site and as the basis for IPM educational materials for the homeowner audience. The landscape plan includes areas of a low growing fescue mix and a medium height meadow mix, plantings to supplement some existing meadow, grass walkways, and interpretive signs on the IPM benefits of a meadow.
