Mill Mountain Park, City of Roanoke, VA
A community project working with the City of Roanoke and Mill Mountain Garden Club since 2013. This is an ongoing plan to remove non-native invasives within a 2.5 acre park that sits atop Mill Mountain. It includes physical removal of plant material, lasagna gardening, and mulching of specific areas of the site. The Roanoke Times newspaper (tons!), local schools, and MMGC member volunteers have made this possible. The clearing of the invasives has provided protection for existing native wildflowers as well as new plantings.
