Hi everyone - Could you please take a minute to comment on this if you have any opinions? If you could reply to Merrylyn and to me, that would be helpful. Thanks Theresa Kerchner Background: Merrylyn Sawyer called this morning with a question about native plants for buffer strips in the Wayne region (Androscoggin Lake area, Kennebec and Androscoggin Counties). She is planning to buy native plants at Pierson's in Biddeford and have them for sale at the Great Wayne Fair in August. This will be part of the Androscoggin Lake Improvement Corporation's (ALIC) educational display. This is the list of plants that we thought would be suitable for our area. Iris versicolor Lobelia cardinalis Rosa palustris Chamaedaphne cayculata Ilex verticillata Rhodora canadense Sambucus canadensis Vaccinium corymbosum Viburnum dentatum Merrylyn Sawyer <[log in to unmask]> wrote: Date: Fri, 23 Jul 2004 08:58:58 -0700 (PDT) From: Merrylyn Sawyer Subject: Plant list To: [log in to unmask] Theresa - Thank you for your time today. Below is a list of the plants we discussed. I need to know if it is a bad idea to introduce any of these to the shores of Lake Androscoggin. We plan to sell these plants at the Great Wayne Fair to encourage buffer zone plantings by our residents of the lake. My concern is introducing species that do not already exist in this area and possibly introducing genetic stock that should not be introduced. I will be purchasing these from the Pierson Nursery in Biddeford. Any thoughts? Thank you. Merrylyn Sawyer --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
