2. Suggested Species , near the trail: <br /> ○ Columbine <br /> ○ Wild Ginger <br /> ○ Bellflower <br /> ○ Wild Geranium <br /> ○ Canada Mayflower <br /> ○ Thimbleweed <br /> ○ Wild Blue Phlox <br /> ○ Solomon’s Seal <br /> ○ Zig Zag Goldenrod <br /> ○ Early Meadow Rue <br /> ○ Tall Meadow Rue <br /> ○ Downy Wood Mint <br /> ○ Smooth Yellow Violet <br /> ○ White Canada Violet <br /> ○ Dwarf Bush Honeysuckle (3’) <br /> ○ Path Rush <br /> ○ Rosy Sedge <br /> ○ Pennsylvania Sedge <br /> ○ Plains Oval Sedge <br /> 3. Suggested Species , further into the woods/vernal pond area: <br /> ○ American Hazelnut (shrub, 6-8’) x 5 <br /> ○ Winterberry (shrub, 6-10’) x 3 <br /> ○ Sweet Joe Pye Weed <br /> ○ Virginia Waterleaf <br /> ○ Jack-in-the-Pulpit <br /> ○ Big-leaved Aster <br /> ○ Two-leaf Miterwort <br /> ○ Short-headed Bracted Sedge <br /> ○ Long-beaked Sedge <br /> ○ Purple-sheathed Graceful Sedge <br /> 4. Timeline <br /> ○ Summer 2022 : start weeding out Creeping Charlie, Burdock & other non-native species <br /> from the wooded section. Hand-removal when possible; RoundUp when necessary. <br /> ○ September/October 2022 : Start planting in the wooded section. <br /> ○ Spring 2023 : Kill the turf grass along the trail. <br /> ○ Spring-Fall 2023 : Fill in with plants as they become available. <br /> ○ It typically takes about three years for new plantings to fill in. Weeding will be required <br /> during this time. <br /> 5. Estimated Cost <br /> I intend to keep costs down by growing some of the plants from seed or using divisions from my yard. <br /> However, germination rates are unpredictable, so I would also supplement with commercially-grown <br /> plugs. I typically buy my seed for $3/species (quantity of seeds per packet varies) from Prairie Moon <br /> Nursery. I typically buy my plants from Landscape Alternatives where they charge $8.50 for a 6-pack of <br /> plants, but I might use other sources, as well. Shrubs cost me ~$6-7 each through Chief River Nursery. <br /> For this project, I estimate that the cost would be approximately $795.
