Larry Weaner of Larry Weaner Landscape Associates has been creating, restoring, and managing native landscapes for more than 30 years. His eye for aesthetics and willingness to dig into the ecology of a site result in gorgeous landscapes that serve their local ecosystems. Here, a lakefront property Weaner designed in Lakeville, Connecticut where he converted a large amount of turf into a meadow of long-lived species.

Plants in the foreground: Echinacea purpurea (purple coneflower), Heliopsis helianthoides (oxeye sunflower; yellow blooms), and Monarda didyma (beebalm; red blooms). Plants along the water’s edge: various species of sedges and pondedge wildflowers, such as pink milkweed, white turtleheads, and blackflag iris. Photo by Saxon Holt.

“This area was planted with both live plants and seed,” says Weaner. The purple coneflower and oxeye sunflower were planted from seed. But because beebalm expands by underground roots and produces little viable seed, live plants were planted in this spot.
