Plan for the Pollinator Gardens at the Community Garden Site Environmental Landscape Consultants LLC <br /> and by other organizations. <br /> An important component of promoting environmentally-friendly landscapes is to promote the use of <br /> native plants. ELC will design the gardens at the Jehu Pond and Pickerel Cove conservation areas with <br /> strictly native plants—plants native to Massachusetts and generally endemic to Barnstable County. <br /> In our planning meetings, however, it was agreed that the two pollinator/wildlife gardens at the <br /> Mashpee Community Garden site would include both native and appropriate, non-native species, <br /> including cultivars of flowering shrubs and forbs that are still likely to be good sources of nectar and <br /> pollen for pollinator species. In this way these gardens would provide a wider array of plants available <br /> to the homeowner or developer for use in their landscapes. <br /> With these goals in mind ELC has developed a plan to plant a variety of garden plants—many of them <br /> native plants—for the two demonstration gardens on the Town-owned land on Main Street. Signage <br /> will identify the plants and provide information on wildlife-friendly gardening that promotes pollinator <br /> species and enhances the overall conservation interests of the Town and region. The list of plants <br /> proposed for each of the two Community Garden pollinator gardens is provided below: <br /> Upland (North Side)Bed: 720 SF <br /> Qty Common Name Botanical Name Size <br /> 8 Switchgrass Panicum virgatum 1 gal <br /> 6 Compact Switchgrass Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah' 1 gal <br /> 14 Little Bluestein Schizachyrium scoparium 1 gal <br /> 16 Little Bluestem Schizachyrium scoparium 'Prairie Blues' 1 gal <br /> 10 Pink Hair Grass Muhlenbergia capillaris 1 gal <br /> 12 Purple Love Grass Eragrostis spectabillis 1 gal <br /> 4 Black-eyed Susan Rudbeckia hirta'Indian Summer' 1 gal <br /> 3 Coneflower Echinacea 'PowWow Wildberry' 1 gal <br /> 3 Coneflower Echinacea'Magnus' 1 gal <br /> 3 Coneflower Echinacea'White Swan' 1 gal <br /> 3 English Lavender Lavandula'Munstead' 1 gal <br /> 2 English Lavender(Lavandin type) Lavandula'Grosso' 1 gal <br /> 3 Greek(Mexican) Oregano Origanum vulgare hirtum pot <br /> 3 Common(English) Thyme Thymus vulgaris pot <br /> 3 Russian sage Perovskia atriplicifolia 1 gal <br /> 4 Marsh Blazingstar Liatris spicata'Kobold' 1 gal <br /> 3 Penstemon (Beardtongue) Penstemon digitalis 'Husker's Red' 1 gal <br /> 5 Butterfly Milkweed Asclepias tuberosa 1 gal <br /> 4 Lanceleaf Coreopsis Coreopsis lanceolata 1 gal <br /> 3 Threadleaf Coreopsis Coreopsis verticillata'Moonbeam' 1 gal <br /> 3 Yarrow Achillea 'Moonshine' 1 gal <br /> 3 Yarrow Achillea 'Strawberry Seduction' 1 gal <br /> May 3,2013 Page 4 <br />
