“Allium Place is a great testament to how the public and private sectors can work together to deliver an inclusive and amazing community right in the heart of District 6,” said Councilmember Fani-González. “The addition of shade trees and environmentally friendly landscaping will enrich a thriving community where folks from all walks of life are calling it home. I am proud to have supported this project while on the Planning Board, and I am beyond grateful to see it become a reality.”
The gardens will help manage stormwater, reduce erosion, expand the County’s tree canopy and attract pollinators. Native plants used in the landscapes were grown by high school students through DEP’s RainScapes School Growing Program, providing both environmental and educational value.
