Abstract

The establishment of the correct mix of native plant species on roadsides can benefit water quality, provide a habitat for pollinators including the monarch butterfly, and at the same time offer protection from snow drifting. Reduced mowing and beatification is another benefit. This presentation covers the where, what, and how to make this happen. What have we learned in the past 20 years that can make wildflower establishment less expensive and more successful?
