Amidst increasing public demand for alternatives to turf grass lawns, and a burgeoning awareness of the historic role grasslands and prairies have played in the ecological fabric of North Carolina, demand for large-scale herbaceous plantings is growing. However, information and precedents from regions north and west of the state (as well as Europe), where climate conditions are not as analogous as one might hope, appear to dominate the practice of prairie-making in North Carolina. Join NCWF South Wake Conservationists Chapter and speaker Preston Montague for a presentation on his work as a landscape architect developing Piedmont prairies for residential clients. Participants will learn about constructed prairies in our built environment, components of a successful prairie, as well as tactical information on prairie-making.
