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.
With the back space cleared to make room for our septic tank and leaching field, they’ve been working hard to save the remaining white oaks and other native species, and to plant 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.
Be sure to check out the plants’ progress this spring!
