Starting Large Wildflower Meadow Under Fruit Trees

Imagine a beautiful wildflower meadow in your yard. Turn grass into beneficial insect habitat and boost bee health with flowers. This is the start of a series on wildflower guilds to improve orchard fruiting, making honey, and polyculture beds.

These areas around fruit trees will include wildflowers, herbs, cover crops, and more. Beds like these will feed trees, provide nutrients to the soil, and explode with color during the spring. It starts by marking out the growing areas.

Choose on-contour beds if you're not planting the whole field with wildflowers. For maximum function, consider English natural gardens or vegetative strips. This leaves paths to enjoy flowers.
