With a grant from the Garden Club of America’s Partners for Plants program and in collaboration with Hartford’s Department of Public Works, GCH launches a design competition for landscape architecture students. The focus is the five entrances to Keney Park – with a construction ready plan for the Barbour Street entrance. The charge is to include native plants from the Olmsteds’ original plant list, with an emphasis on pollinator-attractive species. GCH members begin mapping and monitoring endangered, rare and invasive plants at Barbour Street.
