Shelburne Pocket Park
Forthcoming planting for the town of Shelburne in Spring 2025. This garden features 30 species of native plants, including 13 VT natives, some of which are considered keystone species for our ecoregion, and the rest are native to the eastern US. Some of the plants will have been grown from responsibly collected seed, increasing genetic diversity in the planting instead of using clones. The replacement of turf with vertical layers of perennials, shrubs, and graminoids have numerous ecological benefits including the reduction of mowing and other inputs, the increase of water filtration, and benefits to pollinators and birds.
