Malden River Works
GalleryAfter creating a detailed analysis of the existing site vegetation, Offshoots developed a planting strategy using native plants in eleven different planting communities to create new wildlife habitats. From bioswales and living shorelines to urban hedgerows, the various plant communities provide additional functions such as shoreline stabilization and erosion control; phytoremediation of soil, air, and groundwater contamination; and seasonal interest induced by changing foliage, flowers, and fruits.
