Summary:
The Countersett project attempts to change the 50-year-old landscape of one of the neighborhood courtyards at Kendal at Longwood into a model for our larger community in its second 50 years.
Objective: The Countersett Court neighbors developed six objectives for this landscape renovation project:
- To remove all turf grass
- To plant a native garden
- To create accessible community gathering and transiting spaces in and across the courtyard
- To use low maintenance plantings in terms of both upkeep and watering
- To reduce surface water runoff and protect the aquifer
- To screen parking areas
