A Long-Range Landscaping Plan for Montclair

The pear trees are showing their age and the Landscape and Facilities Management Committee has a plan of action for the affected medians.  It will basically move us from a straight line of trees, to groupings of trees, shrubs, and ground cover.

At the sunny ends of the plantings, we can insert beds of perennials and grasses.  We plan on using non-invasive trees and shrubs that exhibit a wide variety of color, flowers, and texture.  The ground covers and perennials will be drought resistant and low maintenance.    This is one portion of the Long-Range Landscaping Plan that we have presented to the community this fall as part of the FY '09 budget process.  If you have any questions about the long-range plan, please feel free to contact Donna Burke-Fonda at 703/730-0491 or donnaburke57@comcast.net.    If you support this plan, please let a Board member know.  They will be voting on the proposed budget in December and need to know what you think!
