The inkberry sets black berries that provide sustenance to birds in the winter.

There are several wonderful varieties of the inkberry, a suckering, evergreen holly that is great as an informal hedge.

It will be lined with flowering trees like dogwood and witch hazel and native plants like inkberry, swamp rose and goldenrod.

The terrace’s ledges, meanwhile, are planted with low grasses and perennials, from butterfly weed to inkberry to fescue.

Large tree boxes with native plants, such as purple coneflower, switchgrass, inkberry and river birch, will also collect stormwater and provide habitat for District wildlife.
