    Brandywine Conservancy Native Plant & Seed Sale

    Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art 2016 Native Plant & Seed Sale Expected Plant Availability The plants in our sale are carefully nursery-propagated. None are collected from the wild. A large percentage are grown from seeds that are collected by Brandywine Conservancy & Museum of Art garden volunteers from the gardens surrounding the Brandywine River Museum of Art and from the Conservancy’s adjacent meadows here in Chadds Ford, PA. Packets of these same seeds, hand-collected, cleaned and packaged by the garden volunteers, are available during the plant sale as well as year-round in the museum’s gift shop. Seed packets are $2 each and $5 for a set of any three packets. Sharp-eyed shoppers at our annual sale have learned that we customarily sell some plants as small communities of compatible species. This means that a pot with a large Foamflower may also contain a seedling Wild Columbine or Wild Geranium; a Brandywine Bluebell may include a Dutchman’s Breeches; a Showy Coneflower might contain a Dense Blazing Star and a Smooth Beardtongue. Customers pay for the primary plant, only. Such combinations can be separated and planted individually or planted as one and allowed to grow as a group. Nearly every batch of plants at our sale is presented with an informative sign, usually containing a color photo, to help you better understand where the plant will grow best and what it can be expected to look like after it has grown a bit in your garden. To help you remember that information after you get home, each plant has a label which includes the basic attributes specific to that plant: typical size, time and color of flower, its sun preference (full sun, part shade, shade) and soil moisture preference (wet, moist or dry) and, if there is room on the label, a comment regarding its value to birds, bees and butterflies.

Berghage Associate Professor of Horticulture Thesis Advisor Eric P. Burkhart Faculty Instructor, Ecosystem Science and Management Department and Plant Science Program Director, Shaver's Creek Environmental Center Elsa S. Sánchez Associate Professor of Horticultural Systems Management Rich P. Marini Professor of Horticulture Head of the Department of Horticulture *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School ii ABSTRACT Being comprised of thin, porous, heat-retentive media, and being exposed to wind and sun, green roofs are typically hot and droughty. As such, green roofs are taxing environments for the plants which inhabit them. There exist, however, various microclimates on many roofs which may provide growing conditions different from those on a typical section of green roof. One category of such microclimates is shaded areas. The goal of this thesis was to explore the possibilities available in these areas to non- traditional green roof plant species. Fifteen species of plants, twelve of which are native to the Northeastern United States, were chosen to be grown in both shaded an non-shaded conditions on a green roof with two sections, one being nominally four inches, and one being nominally six inches thick. Four replicates were included in the resultant four treatment groups, with each plant being allotted a 75cm x 75cm area in which to grow for one year.
  • Floristic Quality Assessment Report

    Floristic Quality Assessment Report

    FLORISTIC QUALITY ASSESSMENT IN INDIANA: THE CONCEPT, USE, AND DEVELOPMENT OF COEFFICIENTS OF CONSERVATISM Tulip poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera) the State tree of Indiana June 2004 Final Report for ARN A305-4-53 EPA Wetland Program Development Grant CD975586-01 Prepared by: Paul E. Rothrock, Ph.D. Taylor University Upland, IN 46989-1001 Introduction Since the early nineteenth century the Indiana landscape has undergone a massive transformation (Jackson 1997). In the pre-settlement period, Indiana was an almost unbroken blanket of forests, prairies, and wetlands. Much of the land was cleared, plowed, or drained for lumber, the raising of crops, and a range of urban and industrial activities. Indiana’s native biota is now restricted to relatively small and often isolated tracts across the State. This fragmentation and reduction of the State’s biological diversity has challenged Hoosiers to look carefully at how to monitor further changes within our remnant natural communities and how to effectively conserve and even restore many of these valuable places within our State. To meet this monitoring, conservation, and restoration challenge, one needs to develop a variety of appropriate analytical tools. Ideally these techniques should be simple to learn and apply, give consistent results between different observers, and be repeatable. Floristic Assessment, which includes metrics such as the Floristic Quality Index (FQI) and Mean C values, has gained wide acceptance among environmental scientists and decision-makers, land stewards, and restoration ecologists in Indiana’s neighboring states and regions: Illinois (Taft et al. 1997), Michigan (Herman et al. 1996), Missouri (Ladd 1996), and Wisconsin (Bernthal 2003) as well as northern Ohio (Andreas 1993) and southern Ontario (Oldham et al.
  • Rhodora (Rhododendron Canadense) Global Rank: G5 State Rank: SNR Climate Change Vulnerability Index: Highly Vulnerable Confidence: Low

    Rhodora (Rhododendron Canadense) Global Rank: G5 State Rank: SNR Climate Change Vulnerability Index: Highly Vulnerable Confidence: Low

    Species: Rhodora (Rhododendron canadense) Global Rank: G5 State Rank: SNR Climate Change Vulnerability Index: Highly Vulnerable Confidence: Low Habitat: Rhodora is often locally abundant in bogs, peaty wetlands, and barrens in northeast Pennsylvania (Rhoads and Block 2007; Rhoads and Klein 1993). The range of rhodora extends from Newfoundland and Quebec west to Ontario and south to northeastern Pennsylvania and northern New Jersey (NatureServe 2011). Threats: Rhodora is likely to be sensitive to changes in temperature or hydrology at the sites it inhabits. Rhodora is mostly shade intolerant so tree species establishment and subsequent canopy development likely reduces populations of this shrub species. Main Factors Contributing to Vulnerability Rank: Distribution relative to natural barriers: Rhodora is limited to the northeastern corner of Pennsylvania where it represents the southern edge of its range. Dispersal and movement: Rhodora seeds are wind and water dispersed (Campbell et al. 2003) and mostly limited to short distance dispersal within the site where established. Predicted micro sensitivity to changes in temperature: Rhodora occur in microsites/microhabitats towards the cooler end of the spectrum. In Pennsylvania, rhodora is confined to the cooler, northeastern portion of the state. Predicted macro sensitivity to changes in precipitation, hydrology, or moisture regime: Within the species range in Pennsylvania, the species has experienced a less than average precipitation variation in the past 50 years. Predicted micro sensitivity to changes in precipitation, hydrology, or moisture regime: Rhodora is somewhat to moderately dependent on a moisture regime that is highly vulnerable to loss or reduction with climate change and the expected direction of moisture change is likely to reduce the species’ distribution, abundance, or habitat quality.

  • The While Flowering Rhodora

    The While Flowering Rhodora

    THE WHITE FLOWERING RHODORA The rhodora is a typical New England shrub, growing from Lab- rador and Newfoundland, south to Pennsylvania. The correct scientific name is Rhododendron canarlense, though it is known throughout New England by Its synonym, Rhodora canadensis. It is one of our hardiest woody plants, being hardy in areas where the temperatures may go from 35 to 50 degrees below zero during the winter months. It is known and readily recognized for its delicate rose-purple flowers, appearing in the early spring before the lea~es. It is usually found growing in slightly marshy ground. In ornamental plantings, it is ~alued for its early spring flowers and is used especially in naturalistic plantings. A good place to see it is to go to Ralph Waldo Emerson’s grave in Concord on May 25, his birthday anniversary. Because of his poem "Rhodora" and his affection for the flower, some admirer will have carried out the tradition. Whether the flowers come from the neigh- borhood or from far afield, there will be a bunch laid reverently upon the grave. The white flowering variety of the rhodora, known as Rhododendron canadense albiflorum, is not a particularly "new" plant, but try to find it in any of last year’s nursery catalogues ! Not a single American nursery listed it last year or any year prior to that, as far as I know. However, it has been known to exist since 1894, at least, when it was described by Rand and Redfern in their "Flora of Mount Desert Island." The white flowering variety of Rhododendron canadense has all the characteristics of the species except that its flowers are white.
