Case Study
For Glenstone, an art museum, PWP with Larry Weaner Landscape Associates, designed a 230-acre landscape largely comprised of open meadow and forest with a few lawn areas for outdoor sculpture. The 40 acres of meadow, which is on grade and on structure, need considerably less inputs than manicured lawn, using organic methods (no herbicide) before and after seeding, annual mowing, and no irrigation for the native species. Previously the site had been graded for a single-family subdivision with 91 acres of conventionally managed turf.
