campus species list

Page history last edited by jb 2 yrs ago
 
Justin,
Attached [below] are the plant lists that I promised during our walk around campus.  As with any planting, some plants thrive, some flounder, and others die out, so if they are listed it means they were planted but not necessarily still there (we try to monitor this).  One day I hope to have a plant data base so that these things can be easily accessed.
 
The plant lists are for the following gardens:
 
  • Midway Plaisance North Winter and Reader’s Gardens
  • Kramer Beds (along the walkway to the Admin Building)
  • Botany Pond
  • Quad Entry beds (recently replanted, but many of these plants are still there, the ones requiring more shade have been moved)
 
Let me know if you need further information.  It will be spring one day, I hear.
Richard
