| | + | <ul> |
| | + | <li>The vegetation is a big opportunity to maximize the co-benefits of biodiversity and amenity. Planting plans can be formalized or naturalized to suit the surrounding style.</li> |
| | + | <li>For resilient and robust planting, native species which can tolerate periods of drought and periodic inundation are recommended.<li> |
| | + | <li>Woody and evergreen plants should be avoided in any areas of the bioretention cell to be used as snow storage. </li> |
| | + | <li>Dense shrubby plants should be avoided in locations where the accumultion of trash is anticipated as a maintenance problem. </li> |
