Explanation
of Stream Valley Plantings
The
plant and seed list and quantities are described in the approved documents for
Lake Anne West, Drawing # 17 out of the set of 51 drawings. The planting
approach is “reforestation” rather than “landscaping” where large quantities of
small native plants are placed in a regular arrangement to cover the entire
area. The species selected are common representatives found in the “Piedmont”
zone.
