Description: The word "meadow" might conjure an image of a broad, expansive prairie covering acres of land, but it doesn't have to. Meadows don't have to be big to make a difference in the health of the planet. If you choose the right plants, even a small corner of the yard will do. In Tiny & Wild, you'll learn how to embrace your wild side and create a low-maintenance miniature wildflower meadow that's teeming with life.The perks of creating a wild planting, even on a small scale, are many. Tiny but mighty meadows help mitigate climate change, foster biodiversity, sequester carbon, and calm the senses. With as little as a few square feet of space, you can create a beautiful, naturalistic planting that supports a diversity of plants, pollinators, and a plethora of other living things, not to mention its visual appeal to human eyes.
