A set of 10 landscaping design templates<\/a>, published by the Coastal Landscapes Initiative, has won an APEX Award for Excellence in the One-of-a-Kind Publications \u2013 Green category. The designs feature plants native to coastal North Carolina, indicating which species work well together and how to arrange them on coastal property.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited that the APEX Awards recognized this collection,\u201d says Madalyn Baldwin, the project\u2019s lead graphic designer, who works at the Coastal Dynamics Design Lab<\/a> at NC State University. \u201cGardening in coastal areas can be considerably challenging, and we hope these versatile native planting designs will help people achieve beautiful, low-maintenance gardens that are also environmentally friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each design provides ideal site conditions; a planting blueprint; seasonal bloom or berry color; an illustration of the plantings at maturity; and maintenance tips. Designs can be modified to meet lot configurations, and alternative plant choices are suggested for flexibility.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to help people who are interested in sustainable coastal landscaping but don\u2019t know where to begin,\u201d adds project manager Gloria Putnam, North Carolina Sea Grant\u2019s coastal resources and communities specialist.<\/p>\n

The templates were created with input from native plant experts and design professionals associated with the Coastal Landscapes Initiative<\/a>, or CLI, a collaborative effort to encourage nature-enhancing landscaping. Key partners include the North Carolina Aquariums at Pine Knoll Shores and Roanoke Island and Coastal Roots Garden Design.<\/p>\n

\u201cAutumn is prime planting season,\u201d Putnam adds. \u201cAs summer winds down, now\u2019s the ideal time to take stock of the conditions on your property, pick your favorite designs, and find nurseries that carry the plants you need.\u201d<\/p>\n

The full guide can be downloaded at go.ncsu.edu\/CLI-designs<\/a>. Printed packets are also available upon request. Email Gloria Putnam at gfpuntam@ncsu.edu<\/a>, or inquire at your closest NC Cooperative Extension office or coastal North Carolina Sea Grant office in Wanchese, Wilmington or Morehead City.<\/p>\n
