Parklands planning and planting with 100-year focus

The Park stretches from Shelbyville Road near Valhalla Golf Club to Bardstown Road just south of Fern Creek. It offers meadow wildflowers, fishing lakes, broad vistas and green forests; one sheltered grove has 300-year-old beech trees. The not-even-completed park drew 1.4 million visitors in 2015 – with two million on the near horizon. All well and good says the park’s designers, but given that success, and growing use, what’s the place going to look like – what’s it going to be like – 100 years down the road? That thought became not just a worry for the Parklands planners, it became a goal: How do you plan now to create a meadow or forest for your great-great grandchildren – and then their great-great-grandchildren – all the while keeping the current trees and the visitors healthy and happy? THE COURIER-JOURNAL Horticulturist brings experience to Parklands “Parks are about both people and nature,” explained Parklands CEO Dan Jones, “so a lot of times you get people-parks people and you get nature-parks people. “We try to span that divide. A lot of people understand the people side of the project. I don’t think very many understand that we put the same amount of effort and planning into the nature side of the project. “From the beginning we wanted our master plan to reflect that split. From the beginning, we started calling it “the 100 Year Vision.” We had some pretty interesting philosophical debates about that. “And it’s important not to just be there in 100 years, but in 200 years." Show Thumbnails Show Captions Last SlideNext Slide The Parklands offers some unique challenges to that long-range plan. It’s composed of more than 80 parcels of land, a series of pieces Jones called a “mosaic of parcels,” many with different environmental, geological and horticultural features. To process that dream, Jones had returned to his alma mater, Yale University, to earn a master d... (The Courier-Journal)
