Improvements continue in the Katzell Grove. Over the next week or so, an area along Estaugh Way will be cleared of vegetation, and a new grass seed--Reliant Fescue-will be planted. This is a low grow variety of grass, that will grow to just about 8-10" in height. This is a test to see how it grows, and if successful, additional areas of the Grove will be seeded with this variety. The goal of this planting is to have a low maintenance, disease resistant, and drought tolerant ground cover that does not grow too tall and impede the view of the trees in the Grove. Additionally, there are a number of trees that did not survive the summer, and will be replaced after we experience a hard frost. Residents and staff are still enjoying the Grove on a regular basis--meandering along the paved pathway. You are invited to take the time to experience the Grove—an especially lovely spot to visit as the sun is setting.
