The plans are to remove the mostly overgrown, old plants and replace them with new native plants, that once established will require no watering. The garden plan has been designed by our esteemed local professional landscape architect, Charles Brenton. The planting will also involve the addition of some mulch and soil amendments. The project will be completed in two steps: (1) site preparation (removal of the old vegetation in one day) performed days or possibly weeks before the planting, and (2) planting of the new vegetation (possibly taking more than one day). We are hoping the cooler fall weather will provide adequate time for the new plants to get established before winter sets in.

TCNA has purchased 150 new plants for the oval and paid for the removal of the overgrown plants. Thank you to the volunteers who will be working on October 15 and 16 to improve the oval.
