Reserve Your Sea Lyme Grass for Planting Next summer

2011-11-25

The Reford Gardens invite citizens, environmental groups and municipalities to reserve sea lyme grass plants to stabilize the banks of the St. Lawrence next year. Sea lyme grass (Elymus arenarius) is a native plant that plays an important role in the ecology of the shoreline of the St. Lawrence, as it helps to stabilize the banks with its extensive root system. This solution is less expensive than stone berms and is an ecological way to combat shoreline erosion with native species.

This sprig the Reford Gardens will undertake a new production of plants for those who wish to use ecological method of their shorelines. Interested persons are invited to reserve their plants now. Plants are available at a cost of $1 each, in trays of 98 units. A tray covers about 6 square meters or 65 square feet.

For more information or to reserve your plants, please contact us by email at info@jardinsdemetis.com, or by phone (418 775-2222).
