Page B Sustainable JerseyTM Small Grants Funded by the PSE&G Foundation 2013 Application Linwood Arboretum Expansion The City of Linwood Linwood Arboretum Expansion 2013 Sustainable JerseyTM Small Grants Program City of Linwood, Atlantic County Funded by the PSE&G Foundation PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The proposal seeks to expand the Linwood Arboretum into an adjacent half-acre, municipally-owned site, establishing there a Dry Garden and Scree Garden landscape of highly drought-tolerant ornamental plants, designed in such a way as to make minimal demands for irrigation and regular, weekly maintenance. The site, irrigated solely by rainfall, is “made land,” created in 2009 when a large section of asphalt paving was removed as part of a traffic-calming exercise. It was then seeded with utility grade turf grass as a cover crop. This change has already yielded an environmental benefit by reducing surface run-off to a nearby tidal creek. The creation of the Dry Garden complex would further improve run- off issues by the grading and installation of wide pedestrian pathways of packed gravel and soil by preparation for planting. Phase One of Linwood Arboretum and its surrounding neighboring residential area represents the typical suburban style of landscaping with its lawns, foundation plantings and shade trees. At first glance suburbia may seem natural-- and a dry landscape alien. However, Coastal Southern New Jersey and its immediate inland areas in which Linwood is situated are characterized by sandy soil low in organic matter, inescapable periods of drought, and a native flora of water-thrifty genera. The Linwood Arboretum Dry Garden would help pave the way to a landscaping philosophy that is not only sustainable but also reflective of the true surrounding natural environment. It is possible to garden without polluting the air with the noise and fumes of lawnmowers and leaf blowers. The Linwood Arboretum will publicize these basic concepts through such means as interpretive explanatory signage, docent-led tours, and easy public access throughout the community. The location of a municipal-wide bike and walking path through the Arboretum encourages public access. Mulch will be an essential element of the Dry Garden expansion of the Arboretum, just as it was in its original phase. The difference lies in the nature of mulches used. Instead of the constantly renewable decomposing vegetative matter (pine needles, shredded bark, hardwood nuggets) of Phase One, mulches in the Dry Garden will be of non-degradable mineral origin—stones, gravel, sand. As such, these are permanent; once installed, they may require occasional topping off, but not in regular replacement, with its concomitant expenditures of both money and labor. Furthermore, mounds mulched with mineral materials are much less hospitable to adventitious weeds. Another feature of the Dry Garden will be an Herb Garden in which a variety of culinary, medicinal, and aromatic herbs will be grown. Herbs are traditionally highly tolerant of dry conditions. Additionally, a limited number of drought-tolerant flowering herbaceous perennials will be grown in several small mounded beds alongside the gravel pathways. These will provide floral displays in summer that both please the human eye and attract pollinators such as hummingbirds, dragonflies, bees, and butterflies. The central pathways will be a major landscaping feature of the Dry Garden Complex. The materials used for the walkways and mounded beds will differ in both texture and color from the main paths of the Arboretum. Closely packed fine gravel will be used in intersecting pathways alongside a system of low berms or mounded planting beds, with plantings of small shrubs, clump- forming perennials, and succulents. Signage is a necessity in an arboretum and will provide botanically correct identification. Berms, it should be noted, are already used in Phase One, where they have been very successful in enabling some fairly tender plants to survive the rigor of winter by providing superior drainage. A main pathway will have some seating, including half logs similar to those used in the original Arboretum, which will be donated by a local arborist. (At the southern end Linwood Arboretum Expansion 2013 Sustainable JerseyTM Small Grants Program City of Linwood, Atlantic County Funded by the PSE&G Foundation of the central path, it is envisioned that a simple lean-to approximately 12’x18’ would eventually be constructed with shaded benches. This would also provide future shade for some plants that that prefer dry shade, including the Arboretum’s existing collection of the Linwood azaleas that tie the Arboretum to local horticultural history. Information about this group of plants is available online at http://www.tjhsst.edu/~dhyatt/ASA/azalean/linwood0180.html “The Linwood Hardy Azaleas.” We plan to secure financing for the lean-to through other sources.) The Linwood Arboretum exists for the pleasure of the local population, including the public education community. Middle school science classes have made considerable use of the facility as a laboratory, including sessions in which the curator of the arboretum has presented lessons on botanical and horticultural topics to science classes. Art classes sometimes meet for drawing and painting sessions, and Spanish classes have taken place on the lawn on balmy spring days. The addition of the Dry Garden will facilitate the study of a different and distinct landscape environment with a message of sustainability that is demonstrable to Linwood families, gardeners, and school children. The Arboretum, as described above, is a brownfields site, formerly an electrical substation It should be noted that the first name on the Arboretum’s cornerstone is that of J. C. Raulston, the founder of the arboretum at North Carolina State University now named in the his memory.

  • Project Learning Tree Correlation for the Sites in the New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide
    Using Project Learning Tree and Project WILD at sites described in the New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide The New Jersey Wildlife Viewing Guide describes 87 of the most interesting places in New Jersey from a wildlife habitat standpoint. Many of these sites offer exciting, educationally-stimulating programs that focus on local wildlife, natural and cultural history at a reasonable price. At sites without an interpretive program you can create your own natural history program by using activities from Project Learning Tree and Project WILD. This document gives some suggestions for activities you can use at the various sites. Be sure to call the phone number listed in the Viewing Guide for each site to verify bus parking and other particulars, and to avoid scheduling conflicts.
