Native Hot Spots
Native Hot Spots
Our goal is to educate our community by providing information and vignettes of interest around the neighborhood. One of the busiest intersections in our neighborhood is the Knollwood - Aigburth median strip. Currently this planting has a variety of invasive woody plants. Our 3 years goal is to install a native planting that allows insects to use as a host/hot spot. Learn more here!
