At the north end of The Fields where 11th ends at Quimby. This is a very simple planting of Amelanchier alnifolia with Geranium x cantabrigiense as a groundcover. This is normally a very dense groundcover, a good weed supressor, but on this site is having trouble filling in. One species groundcovers over large areas are often problematic in that there is nothing else to fill in if they have trouble. The Redtwig Dogwood against the fence in the background is the cultivar ‘Isanti’ and should stay in the range of 6′ tall so that it will require less routine cutting back than the species.
