Mini-Meadow, Brooklyn NY
Fifty square feet behind a Brooklyn brownstone erupts with color and life.
Tiny spaces can have large impacts. While this sand-based, mini-meadow is less than 50’ square, it has a massive impact visually and ecologically.
A rich tapestry of native plants shifts with the seasons, evolving from cool spring pinks, to a riot of hot summer color, to beloved fall asters.
This tiny garden welcomes stem nesting bees, hummingbird moths, and monarch butterflies, proving that even a small meadow can provide habitat in a city.
