EDGES PROPOSAL
Lafayette Park uses landscaping to create divisions of space. But during the cooler seasons the green is gone and whats left are the branches. About half of the days in the year, Detroit’s weather is more on the cooler side than warm. It’s important to keep the same level of intended landscaping, but with an attention for the cooler months. The best way is by adding vegitation that grows in the winter.
