Vegetation Vegetation includes groves of mature deciduous and evergreen trees. At the amphitheater, mature trees define the edges of the sloped concrete terrace. A planting bed of low shrubs along the amphitheater berm defines the southern edge. Mown grass surrounds the amphitheater and is at the south lawn. • Protect contributing tree patterns including the groves and mature vegetation. • Replace missing or damaged trees and patterns of trees with in-kind plantings similar to the original in species, form, and texture. • Routinely maintain all vegetation growth within close proximity of the Bandshell. • Remove ivy on exterior rear wall.
