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
