Design Plan: Please see attached as-built for completed design plan. 2. Final Plant List: Note that the as-built may not match the final plant list exactly. The as-built was sketched based on species visible during the late summer/early fall. Some of the spring species may not have been evident during this time and may be present on the plant list but not noted in the as-built. SPECIES Asclepias verticillata Berlandiera subacaulis Carphephorus corymbosus Carphephorus odoratissimus Carphephorus paniculatus Coreopsis lanceolata Dyschoriste angustifolia Eragrostis elliottii Eragrostis spectabilis Flaveria linearis Gaillardia pulchella Helianthus carnosus Helianthus debilis Heliotropium polyphyllum Liatris gracilis Liatris savannensis Liatris spicata Palafoxia feayi Penstemon multiflorus Pityopsis graminifolia Rudbeckia hirta Rudbeckia triloba Ruellia caroliniensis Salvia coccinea Salvia lyrata Scutellaria integrifolia Stachytarpheta jamaicensis Symphyotrichum georgianum Solidago odora Zamia pumila COMMON NAME Greeneyes Florida paintbrush Vanillaleaf Deertongue Lanceleaf coreopsis Twinflower Elliott's lovegrass Purple lovegrass Narrowleaf yellowtop Blanketflower Flatwoods sunflower Dune sunflower Pineland heliotrope Blazing star Savanna blazing star Blazing star Beardtongue Silkgrass Black-eyed Susan Brown-eyed Susan Wild petunia Scarlet sage Lyreleaf sage Skullcap Trailing porterweed Georgia aster Goldenrod Coontie 3. Construction Methods: All construction on this project was performed with Parks & Conservation Resources Department (PCR) staff, Extension staff and assorted volunteers. Volunteer representation included Master Naturalists, Master Gardeners, Pinellas Chapter of Florida Native Plant Society, Audubon Society, Florida Botanical Garden volunteers and other environmental groups. Construction was multiple phased and took place over a period of several months. Phase I involved the removal of weedy turf in the planting area. This was accomplished via several treatments of herbicide with several week intervals in between to allow for germination of new weed seeds. Phase II involved the installation of roughly 50+/- cubic yards of recycled wood chip mulch spread over the planting area. This was done in February 2013 to minimize any further weeds and to add organics to the soil. A small front end loader was used to haul the recycled mulch to the site. Since unanticipated construction to the adjacent building delayed planting of the wildflowers, this approach helped reduce weed development and provided aesthetic appeal until planting commenced. Phase III involved another herbicide treatment, hand weeding to remove pesky torpedo grass and more passage of time due to construction on the nearby building. Phase IV, ultimately, mass planting of the wildflowers by volunteers. This commenced in April The mulch path in the native garden was formed. The first of two large plantings was performed on April 24, This planting of 230 plants included twinflower, Ruellia and transplanted scarlet sage. Additionally, a border of Coontie was installed along the sidewalk edge. These were donated by the Parks & Conservation Resources Department (PCR). Six volunteers and two staff installed plants over 2 ½ hours that morning. This proceeded quickly as PCR staff dug holes for the planting with a small auger. Volunteers hand watered the plants at this point as the drip irrigation system had not yet been installed. The second large plant installation took place July 10, On this date, the majority of the wildflowers (over 600+) were installed. A color coded system was set up to assist with making sure the correct plant species was installed in the correct location. Colored irrigation flags were set out on the ground to specify which species of wildflowers were to be installed at that location. A corresponding colored flag was located with the plant. Volunteers just matched the flags. Additionally, colored photo layouts were given to volunteers that showed what the young plants looked like without flowers so volunteers could tell them apart. This planting had 8 volunteers and two staff to install a large number of small plants. Holes were again dug by auger. The plant installation went very quickly. Plants were in the ground in less than 2 hours. Two volunteers stayed behind and performed some site clean-up and soil smoothing to make the planting area look nice. They also watered in the plants with hoses. After the wildflowers were installed, two PCR staff installed drip irrigation to ensure sufficient watering for establishment. This involved laying a grid of hoses through the plants and connecting to the main irrigation valves. The hoses were covered with a light layer of mulch to minimize evaporation. Once the irrigation system was installed, volunteers monitored the system for leaks and appropriate water distribution. Supplemental irrigation was then provided for plant establishment and as necessary only during severe drought period. Periodic replacement plants were installed as some died off during drought and irrigation line breaks. The Pinellas Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society donated funds for the replacement plants. Nameplate signs and stakes to hold the nameplates were donated by the Florida Botanical Gardens Foundation (FBG). Appropriate botanic and common names were etched into the nameplates with a specialized machine owned by FBG. All this work was performed as in-kind volunteer activity for the project by a member of FBG. The survey for use with educational tours was then developed and a good faith effort at scheduling educational tours was made. 4. Maintenance Schedule for Year: The maintenance schedule that has been ongoing for the past year will continue to be followed into the near future. A group of volunteers, comprised of Pinellas Native Plant Society members, Master Gardeners and Master Naturalists, have a set schedule of meeting every Wednesday morning to work in the entire native plant demonstration area, inclusive of the wildflower area. Volunteers arrive in the morning, anywhere from 8:30 to 9 a.m. and work until early afternoon, weather dependent. They weed the entire site, prune seasonally and as needed, check for irrigation issues, refresh mulch, deadhead plants, collect and distribute seeds, monitor for pests and perform all other needed maintenance. The area is also kept clean of trash. The size of the volunteer group ranges from 3 upwards to 5 or 6 participants weekly. A lead volunteer heads the team and is in contact with the project manager regarding the status of the project. As this volunteer has learned and grown in experience, she has branched out to contacting other local native plant experts for advice. She has done a fantastic job both with leading the volunteer team and with keeping the project site in good condition. 5. Brief summary of visitor responses; qualitative & quantitative data; demographics. Acquiring visitor feedback such as written responses was the weakest point of this project. While some responses to written surveys were acquired, the volume was not nearly what was anticipated at the time of application submission. This was due in large part to the physical transfer away from the project site and Extension Department of the project manager. Relying upon volunteers to provide tours (which did occur on a small scale) and have visitors fill out surveys on their experiences did not occur on the scale intended. The wildflower demonstration site is heavily used by the general public. It is also heavily used by at least two professors from St. Petersburg College; one who teaches out of the Clearwater Campus and one who teaches out of the Seminole Campus. Despite efforts to engage these professors in having students complete surveys; professors have been unwilling to use field trip time for this effort. General feedback from the public has been highly positive; particularly during peak bloom seasons of spring and fall. Feedback directly from the college professors has been outstanding as the area has become a wonderful outdoor laboratory in which they can teach. The range of topics that comes from touring the site is diverse and includes discussions of pollinators, native plants vs. non-natives, general ecology, habitats, invasive plants, water conservation, reduction in sod use and so on. Each class brought to the area by a college professor averages 15 students in size and the classes are demographically diverse. Some of the students are youth right out of high school. Others are adults starting second careers. Age, sex, race and ethnicity are all diverse in the college groups using the garden as a field trip site. The general public demographics lean more toward adult use and often towards retiree aged visitors. Despite that generalization, it is also not uncommon to see young mothers with toddlers or babies traversing the garden during the daytime. A few specific educational tours, noted in a quarterly report, were given to a Girl Scout Troop (#513), inner city Tampa students called Camp Team, and a few small groups of general public visitors. A lengthy tour was also provided to the Pinellas Chapter of the Florida Native Plant Society in August During that tour several visitors from the general public joined the educational tour. Of the written surveys that were completed, all recorded positive responses for improved learning about native wildflowers. The general public impression has been very favorable. The garden is used daily. The public, local Native Plant Society, students and educators all appreciate and use the wildflower garden. It fulfills the mission of educating the public on the benefit of wildflowers. This project displays the beauty and benefit of native wildflowers in a way that reading a report cannot describe.
