Durant park has an experiment going on. They are creating a wildflower meadow from a grassy area. They need to kill the existing lawn. In the first plot they covered the grass with cardboard, waited 8 weeks and then planted the wildflower seeds.
It looks lush with tall plants growing.
In the second plot they covered the grass with black plastic for 8 weeks and planted. It looks slightly more lush than the first.
In the last plot they just planted the wildflower seeds.
There are many more weeds and several bare spots.
The real test will be later this summer when the wildflowers start to bloom. We'll be checking back!
