This thesis proposes a realistic model for establishing and maintaining designed meadow landscapes in the context of the rural Georgia Piedmont. Climate and soil characteristics specific to the Southeast bring unique challenges not seen in similar projects in other regions, especially with parallel goals of animal habitat and aesthetic interest. The rich history of Southeastern grasslands presents opportunities to use rare and endemic herbaceous plant species to create landscapes that speak to the significance of place and biodiversity of the region. Imparting design intent and using land as art form takes on a distinct appearance amongst a working agricultural landscape. Using underutilized spaces to create meadows on working agricultural landscapes proposes an expanded concept of productivity, as it also applies to invertebrates and indirect ecosystem services. The goal of this research and design is to create practical meadow typologies applicable to the working agricultural landscape that now dominates the rural Piedmont landscape.
