Chittenden, Vermont residents Jonathan Yacko and Natalie Gilliard have created a community around the wildflower meadows they grew on their property.
Husband and wife Jonathan Yacko and Natalie Gilliard grew up on Long Island. They moved to Chittenden, Vermont in 2019.“To be honest, it was kind of depressing to look out on this sea of grass,” admitted Gilliard.Jonathan Yacko now mows considerably less yard than when he and his wife first bought their house in North Chittenden. In 2021 they turned part of the yard into a wildflower meadow and created a second one with their next-door-neighbor this summer.
Their first meadow was near the road. “We picked out all the rocks, dug up all the grass, planted all the seeds,” explained Gilliard. Then came all the colors: red and yellow poppies, pink catchfly, bright orange sulphur cosmos, red columbine, and purple foxglove. “So right over here, you can really kind of get into it without stepping on any of the flowers or worrying about disturbing any habitats,” said Gilliard, stepping carefully onto a patch of dirt between flowers.
“And what’s so cool is every couple of weeks the meadows look totally different,” adds Yacko. “You don’t know exactly what’s gonna come up or when it’s going to come up and that’s part of the magic.”
