Abstract
The following project contains detailed information on 5 grasses, 5 sedges, and 5 forb species. This includes the native plant species use in shoreline restoration. This document contains a separate section on general information about native plant species and associated wildlife and benefits of planting native vegetation. Furthermore in the interest of respecting other local businesses (other local native plant nurseries) a section was dedicated to making sure our species presented to the host organization, Abbey Gardens, were not duplications of what was already being provided by the other local establishments. The final two sections include suggestions for improving tourism at Abbey Gardens as well as recommendations for next steps.
