Hello Sedges

The three Sedges Instead beds are now planted on a neglected public boulevard in the west end of Toronto (near Lansdowne and Dundas)! The native sedges I’ve included are Plantain-leaved Sedge (Carex plantaginea), Pennsylvania Sedge (Carex pensylvanica), Graceful Sedge (Carex gracilis), and Fox Sedge (Carex vulpinoidea).

I’ve interspersed some native wildflowers as well. Whenever passersby see me working and stop to talk, they always say that they hope there will be flowers. And they always lament the fact that the City doesn’t maintain the boulevard!
