Education <br /> Educating the general public as to native plants, their growing conditions, and <br /> encouraging their incorporation into urban landscapes is a very important objective of the <br /> native plant garden and of this funding plan. Therefore organizations dedicated to the <br /> Native Plant Garden concept must be enlisted as "partners" to assist in developing <br /> appropriate materials and conducting tours, classes, etc. <br /> Plant signage — appropriate signage must be placed near the plants, noting both common <br /> and botanical name. Additional information about the plants would be beneficial. <br /> Garden map — should be developed and maintained to describe where the various native <br /> plants are typically found, their desired growing conditions and needed care. <br /> Activities — tours and classes should be conducted throughout the year to show people <br /> how native plants can enhance their landscapes at different times during the year. <br /> Hendricks Park Native Plant Garden Guidelines <br /> Author: Jerry Blakely Page 3 Rev., 13 April 2013 <br />
