Native Landscaping at Cedell Brooks, Jr Park
King George County
In June 2019, partners in the Plant Central Rapp Natives campaign dedicated a series of native plant demonstration gardens in Cedell Brooks, Jr. Park in King George County.
Five gardens, including over 70 species and over 650 plants, showcase the color, variety and multiple benefits of natives. Visitors will find a meadow garden, pollinator garden, raingarden and gardens demonstrating native plants suitable for difficult to landscape areas like hillsides and streetsides.
“Collaboration was key to installation of the gardens at Cedell Brooks, Jr. Park,” shares Kate Gibson, Deputy Director with the George Washington Regional Commission (GWRC). “It has been such a pleasure to work with the various partners that have come together for the campaign and to make the demonstration gardens a reality.”
GWRC received multiple grants from Virginia CZM to develop and implement the campaign and to install the demo gardens.
