SUMMARY:Designing Meadows and Naturalized Plantings for a Human Landscape with Kathy Connolly 5/28/26
DESCRIPTION:Kathy Connolly\nDesigning Meadows and Naturalized Plantings for a Human Landscape\nMay 28\, 2026\, 7pm\nCNTR and on Zoom\n725 Main Street\, Middletown\nFree for members; $10 for non-members (register here) \nMeadows and other naturalized landscapes are often imagined as capturing nature’s patterns and benefitting local ecology. Yet\, to gain acceptance in a human setting\, a great deal of planning—and some compromise–​may be required. In this discussion\, we’ll consider topics such as scale\, proximity to visitors\, sightlines\, pathways\, edges\, seating\, signs\, standards of care\, the dormant season\, and more. We’ll especially talk about the perennially interesting topic of plant heights. This talk explores form and setting\, not specific plant selections or layering. Plant lists are included in the handout. \nKathy Connolly is a landscape designer who specializes in naturalized designs\, low-impact landscape techniques\, and native plants. In addition to her design projects\, she gives more than 30 talks and workshops annually. Since 2013\, Kathy has published more than 200 articles and newsletters on landscapes\, trees\, plants\, and land care. Kathy has a master’s degree from the Conway Graduate Program in Sustainable Landscape Planning and Design. \nFree for members; $10 for non-members (register here)
