Owen has guided our restoration of an old nursery into a native grassland meadow. The property was overgrown with mugwort, an aggressive invasive plant. Owen helped us with the design and restoration plan, suggested a native grass and plant list for the meadow, and assisted us with the implementation of the plan. Today the first phase has grown in successfully and we are very pleased with his work.

Engaging Native Meadows to create a native plant garden at Dance Place has been a JOY. The garden is a beautiful addition to our 8th St. Arts Park project and offers so many benefits to our campus. Owen is incredibly patient, creative, hardworking and generous — we have greatly enjoyed collaborating with him on our vision of the 8th St. Arts Park. It has been a wonderful opportunity to learn more about native plants and pass on these lessons to young people. We look forward to the gardening opportunities that our native plant garden will offer children and teenagers for years to come.
