Community Gardener needed for Sherman Avenue

Sherman Avenue NW, without a center median.

From Marcus Popetz:

We're progressing nicely as a community getting the median on Sherman Avenue built in the upcoming Spring. We're now in the phase where we're having to plan the actual types of perennials we'd like to plant between the trees on the median.

Sherman Avenue rendering with a center median--of the trees, but not the flowers in between. It's of an area a bit north of where we're currently working, but the idea is the same.

Anyone out there like to do this type of garden planning work? or would like to learn? Our goals:

1) Color and beauty as much of the year as possible.
2) Native plants or non-invasive imports.
3) Hearty plants since they'll be living in a median.

I did this for my own garden so have some pointers to websites for plant lists and when they bloom and such to get you started. Contact me and I can give you some more ideas and budget concerns and such.
