Post #3226891

I am trying to plan the new plantings for the parking lot at work. The landlord uses a creeping juniper that is sorely stunted and the occasional petunia. We have permission to improve the plantings. My primary intertests are: hardiness, native if possible and of course multiple season attractiveness. One other obstacle---Canadian Geese. This shopping plaza was wetlands 20years ago. Now this part of the city is perfect green lawn and decorative water features that are about 1/5 to 1/4 acre in size. Perfect for the geese. This means that I don't want to contribute the the goose buffet if possible. I am sure that they will choose to next in the newly planted areas and that won't be a problem.

Confused yet--I am. Naturally I would like to build a foundation of perinneals with a few annuals for pop and quick growth. I live in zone 5b. 90% of the areas to be planted are full sun. Thanks for any suggestions.

David
