New Plantings at the Library 

Public Works horticulturist Judy Kaiser and her crew were busy planting Veronica Whittleyi and Butterfly Weed in the four landscape beds located between the Village Center and Village Hall. Each bed also has a centered Paperback Maple that has distinguished cinnamon colored peeling bark. The Veronica Whittleyi is a speedwell variety perennial with dark blue flowers and evergreen foliage. Last year, following a Shorewood Waters Project-sponsored public vote, the Butterfly Weed was named the Village's Official Native Plant. The previous plantings of Red Bud trees had verticillium wilt and could no longer be maintained.  

The new plantings were made possible through private donations in the honor of former Friends of Shorewood Library Board member, Barbara Bachman and the Shorewood Garden Tour.
