Documentary filmmaker and organic landscaper designer Catherine Zimmerman of Washington, D.C., is coming to Chattanooga on Monday to teach area residents how to make meadows in their yards.
Sponsored by the Tennessee Valley Chapter of Wild Ones, Zimmerman will present “Meadowscaping: A Recipe for Healthy Urban and Suburban Landscapes.” Area residents will be given step-by-step instructions on how to transform any size of land into a meadow.
Meadowscaping helps people to eliminate pesticides on their lawns while returning land to a natural habitat for native plants and wildlife.
The presentation will cover why meadow and prairie habitats are beneficial economically and environmentally, according to a news release.
