Wildflower meadow scale

 01Ga

Minimum bed sizes "swaths" 

Sketch 01Ga shows minimum scale for beds and color swath size. Swaths can be much larger. Swaths should also run parallel to topographic contour lines in order to conserve water.

Distance between paths should be about 60 feet. A viewing distance of 30 feet to the center is optimum. Swaths of individual flowers should be a minimum dimension of 3x their height, but can be larger by 5 to 15x times.

. A prime example of the style is Piet Oudolf's Detroit Garden.
