Ongoing Plans

In this first phase, we have simply re-used existing material and added some donated material from Tiveron's on Camilla Road,
Black Widow Cranesbill from Tiverons

and from Longos on Rathburn road at Ponytrail.
Vera Jameson Sedum from Longos....

Also some Feverfew from GN member Norma Clark

The second phase will hopefully take place by mid July 2005 or at least by the 3rd week.  In Phase 2 we plan to add a few more donated plants for the back of the bed. These include Joe Pye Weed (Eupatorium) and Russian Sage (Perovskia), and hopefully some purple Cranesbill for the front of the bed, interplanted with the newly planted white Cransebill.

The third phase will take place in September, once the weather has cooled slightly and we have had a good rain. At that time we plan to move some existing material to the back of the beds. this will include bumaldi Spirea  and  potentilla.

Also at that time we will be adding some low-grow material to the front of the beds. This will include Wooly Thyme,  and  Sedum spatufolium.  Also, some white yarrow to the mid section.                                   

BEFORE

This is the eastmost sign and designated bed section before.  One of the constraints with this bed is that there is a water access at the front of the bed.
 AFTER

Here is the same bed after Jason weeded, deadheaded the iris and added wood chips, and the Gardening Network re-deployed some existing plants - Blue Fescue, Iris and Day lilies, and added the donated plants.

This is the wesmost sign and designated bed area before.  There were plenty of Blue Fescue and Iris in this section that we were able re-use.

This is the west side of the entire bed area  before.
