Jonathan Yacko and Natalie Gilliard moved to Vermont from Long Island and didn’t want to mow several acres of grass. So they planted a wildflower meadow.
“We had no idea what we’d be looking at after we first planted the meadow, but that was part of the fun,” Yacko said.“We’d been wondering whether it would work, and suddenly we were seeing these little white flowers called baby’s breath,” said Gilliard. “That was an exciting time for us.”
“What Natalie and Jonathan did was so spectacular — we wanted to create a similar habitat for all of the wild pollinators,” said Baird, 32. She and Yacko had spent most of their lives on Long Island, where they had fast-paced careers and little time for gardening or yard care, she said. Yacko was busy as an engineering manager, while Gilliard worked for a New York utility company.They decided to move to Vermont in 2019 in search of a slower-paced life and a sense of community, Yacko said, adding that he and Gilliard found it difficult to make new friendships in New York.
Except for watering the seed for the first several months to help with germination, “it’s pretty much plant it and forget it,” Yacko said. Instead of firing up a lawn mower every few weeks, he now mows the meadow once every spring to help the flowers to come back in abundance.
