for planting design and planning info. Critical to screen or filter
suitable species based on soil, substrate, hydrology and exposure and of course
aesthetics. Post establishment, rainfall in your area is more than
adequate if there is sufficient soil/substrate material. Great native
communities are sometimes too ugly or weedy for many people when put on
display. Short grass prairie species with tough forbs are my choice
but requires time to get established and then keep the mowers away. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

The catalogs from Prairie Nursery and Prairie Moon Nursery have excellent

If they are small areas, plugs would better. I'm not familiar with the
nurseries in NY, but the native plant society can help with that. Good
sources for landscape plugs and an info brochure on the plugs:<br>
<a

2 page brochure)<br>

<a href="http://newmoonnursery.com/" target="_blank">http://newmoonnursery.com/</a><br>
These nurseries sell plugs for transplanting, but the root systems are too
small for planting out, in general, so stick with the landscape plugs, which
come in flats of 38 from North Creek and 50 from New Moon.<br>
<br>
Though focused on the Chesapeake Region, most of the plants described in this
booklet are native in NY. Includes info on wildlife.<br>

Subject: [PCA] Planting median strips<br>
<br>
Our town is considering replacing the grass in median strips at several
intersections so that they won't have to be mowed. We are considering using
native plants (grasses and perennials). Does anyone have any suggestions as to
where I could find information about this? The town is <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City
w:st="on">DeWitt</st1:City>, <st1:State w:st="on">NY</st1:State></st1:place>.
If anyone has experience doing this, I would love to talk to you.<br>
<br>
