2020 Greenspace Report

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Norton Parkway Pollinator Pathway group opted to take a year off. The plantings from last year all look alive and healthy however, with hope for more pollinator plants to grow there in the future.

Greenspace Log

08/02/2019

We planted boxwoods in each median square and a whole mess of pollinator plants at the end of the median opposite of where we started.

Planting

07/26/2019

Thirteen Foote School friends and their chaperones joined us and helped to excavate sod in preparation for pollinator plantings. We discussed the importance of safety when working in the median, the necessity of pollinators, strategies for digging, and how to successfully transplant liriope.

Maintenance

07/19/2019

We planted a whole mess of pollinator-friendly plants as a test-run for how the rest of the pathway might look. We plan to replicate it across the section of the median we've been tending to.
