Getting More Bling for Less "Cha-Ching": Making the Most Out of Plant Purchases for Displays Part 3

Sep 1, 20100 likes391 views

Plants that can be used repeatedly in permanent garden collections are recommended for their durability and versatility. Certain flowers, shrubs, and trees will reliably come back year after year, providing long-lasting landscaping elements. Home gardeners seeking low-maintenance options that offer seasons of interest should consider so-called "workhorse" plants suited to rotation in permanent planted areas.

Varying Shades of Green: Selected Experience and Research on Green Roofs SimmonsAmerican Public Gardens Association

This document summarizes research on the performance of green roofs in subtropical climates. The research found that green roofs can provide greater thermal and hydrologic advantages in areas with extreme temperatures and variable rainfall compared to temperate regions where most research had focused. The study measured temperature profiles, water retention, plant response, and water quality on 6 types of green roofs and black and white roofs over 3 years. Results showed high variation in performance among plant species and roof types. Ongoing research is looking at plant establishment, survivorship, and weed control over time to develop optimal native plant mixes for green roofs.

Carpe Plantas! Strategic Actions All Botanic Gardens Can Take to Advance Plan...American Public Gardens Association

1. Botanic gardens have traditionally focused on education programs about plants and environmental stewardship, but may not fully engage the public in advocacy and changing behaviors and values. 2. Past social initiatives like Victory Gardens during World Wars I and II and the environmental movement of the 1970s showed that educational projects can mobilize large segments of the public, but many of these gains were lost after the crises ended. 3. To fully meet conservation targets, botanic gardens need to more directly challenge visitors intellectually and emotionally in order to promote lasting changes in attitudes, behaviors, and support for environmental issues.
