This was the first year that we saw the 7-acre meadow flush out since having cleared out 32 tons of trash in what was once a former nursery. Some of the seed that came up, like the annual sunflowers and lupine, was what we had planted last December—and some of it was just seed that was already in the seed bank.

We decided we would continue to "add on" to the meadow by planting some bold, beautiful, and stately ornamental Alliums. Our goal was to plant around 3,000 Alliums of various species so that we could see a succession of purple, white and yellow flowers from May through August. Late July through September is when grasses and other perennials would be at their peak, so would take over where the Alliums left off.

This video will go through what we planted.
