Many thanks to Scott Snell and Chris Sheahan of the USDA-NRCS Plant Material Center on Rt 9 for choosing Cape May Point for an experimental planting of three varieties of dune grass and Bitter Panicgrass, as well as seeding into the backside of the dune the following: Fuzzy Bean, 'Atlantic' Coastal Panicgrass, Beach Pea, 'Monarch' Seaside Goldenrod, Spurred Butterfly Pea and Pink Fuzzy Bean!
The trial site is to the right of the new Alexander Beach walkway. We can watch the results grown before our eyes as we walk to the beach! |
