The Acton-Boxborough Youth Baseball Organization (ABYB) requested that the Acton Garden Club help them beautify the area surrounding a granite donor stone at a baseball complex in town. The area essentially greets the ballplayers and their fans to the two baseball fields. A member and her husband who have a son in the league installed a garden with the emphasis on drought-tolerant plants. They volunteered to get the garden established over the next three years and to teach members of ABYB about the minimal care it will require. A backbone of slow growing evergreen shrubs was planted first. Interest for all seasons was added in the form of sedums, grasses, centaurea, yarrow, and geraniums. Bulbs will be planted in the fall. A list of the plant material and the conditions each is best suited for was given to ABYB so they may use this information at other fields in town. |
