Mounds View Silver View Park Pond <br />provide cover and diversity without obscuring park and pond views. The shorter grasses will also maintain <br />better views of wildflowers in the plantings. <br />For areas with scattered canopy cover or shade during a portion of the day, a savanna or woodland edge <br />seed mix will be more appropriate. The seed mix should contain shade -adapted species. <br />After the initial 3- to 4-year establishment phase, annual maintenance for native plantings should provide <br />cost savings over mowing maintenance. Mowing will still be needed along the trail sides and for access to <br />park amenities (such as benches, swings, disc golf features), but can be significantly reduced.
