every design starts with an idea. ideas need inspiration. here’s one of the books that have inspired me to pursue this project, «Sowing Beauty» by James Hitchmough. . James is a professor at Sheffield and has created meadows and prairie landscapes with designers like Tom Stuart-Smith, in the olympic park in london and many others. his book provides a manual on seed mix quantities for each project, describes in great detail the installation process, and accounts for what worked and what didn’t. it also has stunning photos of course. . the parking strip is my canvas. let’s paint a colourful and sustainable meadow. . #queenannemeadow #sowingbeauty #jameshitchmough #landscapedesignbooks #landscapedesigner #landscapedesign #gardendesign #wildflowermeadow #summerdry #meadow #nativeplants #prairie #sustainable #xeriscape #pnw #seattle #parkingstrip #plantingstrip #gardening #garden #plantingfromseed #plantcommunities #ecologicalplanting #queenanneseattle #plantexperiment (at Queen Anne, Seattle) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zFeOTAJMl/?igshid=5pjf0zmlq0cm
