Chesapeake wildflowers and grasses have been ordered from North Creek Nursery for
planting in mid-September. These plants are for the portion of the worksite that
gets full sun and were chosen for their drought tolerance and overall strong growth.
The funds are from the Chesapeake Bay Trust.
I have submitted another grant application to get funds to plant the portion of
the worksite that is shady.

the plants. Lynnwood Andrews, VP & Native/Invasive Plant Committee Coordinator |
