Meadowscaping Guides

With a bit of knowledge and creative thinking, meadowscaping allows us to transform lawns, playgrounds, empty lots, unused paved spaces, and patios into havens for plants and animals.

KidsGardening is excited to team up with our longtime friends at American Meadows to bring you two FREE guides on meadowscaping with kids! American Meadows believes Meadowscaping Makes Things Better. Better for you, better for your community and better for our shared eco-systems.
