Starting a grass & wildflower meadow #879391

Asked July 30, 2024, 10:54 AM EDT

Good morning! I'm looking to establish a grass & wildflower mix meadow on 1.5 acres of our land that we recently cleared in New London. The more I research the process, including on the UNH Extension site, the more conflicting information I get, particularly about seeding rates (grass:wildflower ratio and lbs per acre or lbs per 1,000 sqft). I thought it would be best at this point to have a specialist advise me on the specific property I'm working with, if possible. I've included a photo and am happy to provide any other information you need. Thank you!
