Introducing our new Upland Eastern Native mix, a long-lived, expertly curated blend developed with Larry Weaner Landscape Associates (LWLA). Composed of adaptable native species, this mix is designed to evolve — starting with quick-blooming pioneers that establish early color and giving way to resilient perennials that offer lasting beauty, legibility, and ecological value.
LWLA is a leader in meadow design in the Northeast, with decades of experience creating dynamic, self-sustaining landscapes that thrive over time.

Our scientifically-developed soilless growing medium contains organic growth agents to improve germination as compared to conventional seeding.
Our pre-mixed seed and substrate combination means no on-site measuring and mixing, and no need to import costly top soil that is all too often filled with weed seed.
Crafted by meadow experts, our seed mixes contain a wide variety of native and/or naturalized species that are designed to evolve in harmony with site conditions over many years.
Meadow Lab’s Wildflower Soil™ is a unique, soil-free product that delivers the optimal seed germination environment to allow seedlings to get a head start on grass or weed species.
It’s a more economical approach than our Wildflower Sod™, allowing landscape professionals and homeowners to create dynamic and biodiverse wildflower spaces in a range of settings with very little ground preparation. Use it in large sites where there is access to irrigation but instant plant coverage is not required, or sites where access for ground preparation is restricted or the soil type limits conventional seedbed preparation.
Establishing a wildflower meadow from seed is a cost-effective approach for large spaces. Our seeding guide walks you through our recommendations for how to apply wildflower seed to an already prepared site.
A meadow is more than just a beautiful landscape—it’s a dynamic, self-sustaining ecosystem that evolves over time, providing habitat for wildlife, improving soil health, and offering a low-maintenance alternative to conventional gardens. Establishing a meadow is a long but rewarding journey that can transform any space into a thriving natural environment.
Establishing a successful wildflower meadow begins with meticulous site preparation, a step that is absolutely critical to long-term success. There are a few ways to go about preparing your site for wildflowers. We outline five of the most successful methods here.
