"It sounds like a gardener’s holy grail: beautiful and practical plantings that
can turn cities into green spaces with benefits for people and biodiversity.
Our Australia-first collaborative research has made this dream a reality. Woody
meadows have transformed urban spaces in Australian cities by adding green
beauty and colour in public spaces at a much lower cost than other approaches.
Ours is a collaborative research project that engages with urban land managers,
designers and horticultural crews to research and trial woody meadows under
real-world conditions. Their popularity reflects the huge demand to green our
urban places in a cost-effective way.
After ten years of success, failure and constant experimentation, we can now
share our insights into how woody meadows can be both beautiful and hardy."
Share and enjoy,
