Continuing the Growth: Generation Park’s Native Plants

Building an Ecosystem
We announced our Native Plant Restoration initiative back in November of 2023. We are thrilled to say that native plants have been growing and beautifying Generation Park this past Spring. Being able to spot black-eyed-susans, Cereal Rye, pink evening primrose, purple poppy mallow, and Indian blanket, just to name a few. These plants will help beautify, and restore our region’s biome. Native grass has been implemented as well to help tie in with the indigenous plants.

Saving the Trees
In February, we announced our Tree Transplant initiative, aiming at relocating existing trees within Generation Park to help beautify certain parks and trails. Replanting these quality native vegetation will help provide shade and nature to our public spaces and will help with our overall goal of restoring the native plant life.
A Natural Benefit
Besides the natural beauty of native plants, there is a benefit that will help us when it comes to developing the land. Native plants can act as a natural flood control, With roots delving deep into the soil, often extending up to fifteen feet, these indigenous plants excel at seeking water in times of drought and play a crucial role in maintaining soil stability. Don’t forget about the wildlife! Pollinators will be affected directly in having more flowers to choose from, in which, will cause even more flowers to spread all throughout Generation Park!
