With the back space at the Land Trust House cleared to make room for a septic tank and leaching field, we’ve been working hard to save the remaining white oaks and other native species. We’ve also planted a variety of native seeds and plugs for white wood and heart-leaved aster, wrinkled and seaside goldenrod, blue vervain, purple-top grass, broomsedge bluestem, ironweed, and more. All of the seeds were locally gathered. This should be a wonderful environmental and wildlife friendly option to planting grass.
Thank you to Lauren Brown, Bill Chapin, Taite Hodson, Ivy Kim, Susie McDonald, and Clara Pagliaro for helping to establish a native wildflower plant garden at the Land Trust House.
Be sure to check out the plants’ progress this spring!
