OBJECTIVES OF THE GARDENS

  • Use, to the extent possible, native plants, shrubs and trees in the landscape.
  • Choose low maintenance options, given the limited resources of the Village and the reliance on volunteers to sustain the landscape.
  • Incorporate deer resistant plants, shrubs, and trees.
  • Demonstrate ideas and uses for homeowners in the suburban landscape.
  • Provide curriculum rich content for schools, environmental and horticultural organizations, and other nature-related groups.
