We planted seedlings of native plants at a new site (the former Sculpture Garden), including
- Andropogon gerardii (big bluestem, barbon de Gérard)
- Apocynum androsaemifolium (spreading dogbane, apocyn à feuilles d'androsème)
- Asclepias tuberosa (butterflyweed, asclépiade tubéreuse)
- Campanula rotundifolia (harebell, campanule à feuilles rondes)
- Monarda fistulosa (wild bergamot, monarde fistuleuse)
- Schizachyrium scoparium (little bluestem, schizachyrium à balais)
- Solidago juncea (early goldenrod, verge d'or jonciforme)
- Symphyotrichum ericoides (white heath aster, aster ericoïde)
- Symphyotrichum oolentangiense (sky blue aster, aster azuré)
and others that I don't remember. (My son said they look like they're just weeds, but next year I'm sure they'll be lovely.) Nearby, another patch of ground was covered with heavy black plastic to kill the weeds through solarization. We'll be planting there next year.
