Introduction

Cook-Wissahickon Elementary School serves 350 kindergarten through eighth grade students in the PhiladelphiaSchool District. Located in northwest Philadelphia, the school is bound by Righter Street (west) and SalaignacStreet (south) and housing on the north and east sides. Cook-Wissahickons Green Committee consists of a groupof parents, students, teachers, and community members of the Cook-Wissahickon Elementary School who arecommitted to making the school more sustainable, environmentally-responsible, and beautiful. Their goal is to makeCook-Wissahickon the first retro-fitted green school in Philadelphia. Their first step towards achieving this goal is tore-envision the school grounds. The Community Design Collaborative (Collaborative) volunteer project team wasasked to develop a conceptual design for a Sustainable Master Landscape Plan for Cook-Wissahickon School.

A community task force, which included the schools Green Committee, worked with the Collaborative volunteers toprepare a conceptual master landscape plan which calls for improving the schools aesthetics in a sustainable way

that provides rich educational opportunities for the students and the community.

Cook-Wissahickon School serves as one of the main gateways to the Wissahickon neighborhood and as a commu-nity focal point for neighborhood families with school-aged children. Enhancing the school grounds appearancehelps to raise student and community pride. Currently, the school suffers from negative opinions based upon itsoutward appearance. Items that contribute to this negative opinion are many: the chain-link tall fence (up to twelvefeet in some portions) that surrounds the school, the vast asphalt that covers so much of the playground, anddumpsters that currently greet visitors as they enter the parking lot. The task force desires an exterior that reflectsthe schools commitment to sustainability and academics and will encourage additional neighborhood families toenroll their children at Cook-Wissahickon. Mostly, though, the task force desires a school grounds that is a gift tothe students, a means of instilling in them a sense of pride in their school and in themselves.

The proposed plan calls for key planting installations as follows:

Meadow: On the west and east side of the Salaignac Street facing portion of campus. The meadowwill consist of native grasses and wildflowers. Its adjacency to the kindergarten play area providesoptions for basic lessons in color, shape and smell. It is also a perfect setting for the butterflyhatch that science classes undertake each year. Additionally, it will provide a pleasing entry to theschool, increase biodiversity and reduce the need for fossil fuel consumptive mowing.

Woodland Understory Grove: At the entrance. Remove existing shrubs and supplement the existingcanopy trees with species like Amelanchier spp. (Serviceberry), Cornus florida (FloweringDogwod), Cercis Canadensis (Redbud), and Betula nigra (River Birch) to provide a rich woodlandsetting.

Orchard: In the center of the main playground (this area encompasses the existing storm inlet andhelps filter stormwater and reduce stormwater runoff flow). Comprised of fruit and nut bearingspecies, the orchard provides the opportunity to grow species that have a longer life-cycle thanthose planted in the raised beds. It also helps to break up the large asphalt playground, provideshade and create visual interest.

Rain Garden: In the central-eastern portion of the main playground (the rain garden is located alongthe existing stormwater flow path and helps filter stormwater and intercept stormwater runoff flow).This low area will be planted with native water-loving herbaceous perennials that are also droughttolerant. Species such as cardinal flower (Lobelia cardinalis) or New England aster (Aster novae-angliae) are examples of suitable rain garden plants.

Introduction

Expanded Teaching Gardening Area: Along the southeast portion of the playground. This area isdedicated to the teaching garden program with additional raised beds and storage as necessary.

Planted Buffer: Along the Righter Street fence. These plantings supplement the existing canopytrees (these trees are currently being trampled, in part because they are one of the few unpavedand shady areas in the playground). In addition to the fence improvements suggested below, theseplants will help screen the relocated dumpsters and will soften the edge between the sidewalk andthe playground. Species such as Tiarella sp. (foam flower), Carex flaccosperma (Blue WoodSedge), Ilex glabra (inkberry) and Itea virginica (Sweetspire) are appropriate for this area.

Street plantings: Along Salaignac and Righter Streets, half of the sidewalk is removed to accommo-date flowering understory trees. Flowering understory trees are selected because of existingoverhead wires and to create an attractive gateway. Ideally, this treatment would be mirrored on the

western side of Righter Street by the commercial property with the addition of shade trees asshown in the plan. Flowering Hedge Row: The existing landscape edge between the parking lot and Vicaris Street row

houses is planted with native shrubs and flowering trees, such as Clethra alnifolia (Summersweet)and Amelanchier spp. (Serviceberry). This creates an attractive vegetated filter between the twospaces without creating a hard wall that completely obscures visibility.

Native Plant Bed: The east wall of the building is planted with a variety of Fothergilla gardinii (WitchAlder), Hydrangea quercifolia (Oakleaf Hydrangea), and Magnolia virginiana (Sweetbay Magnolia).This deters graffiti vandalism and improves the aesthetics to one of the playgrounds main entrypoints.

Bio-infiltration Bed: The sidewalk adjacent to the bus drop-off is removed and replaced with anplanted infiltration bed. This captures stormwater runoff from the street and allows it to infiltrate

instead of continuing to the storm drain. This also reduces the amount of pavement in a portion ofthe campus that is heavily paved.

The plan improves the schools appearance by calling for the removal of chain link fence along Righter Street. Thefence can be completely removed from the bus drop-off area. For the portion of fence along the playground adjacentto Righter Street, the plan calls for removing this fence completely and replacing it with either a low masonry fenceor metal picket fence or a combination of the two. In areas where the fence should remain to assist with keepingballs in the playground and for safety the plan recommends that the chain link fence be transformed with geomet-ric colorful panels of powder-coated steel or an artistic scrim. This would be a perfect opportunity for the school topartner with a local artist.

The dumpsters are relocated to the northwest portion of the playground. The Collaborative volunteer team and taskforce discussed the pros and cons of this decision for some time and finally concluded that, with appropriatescreening measures (a fenced enclosure and planted buffer), this was the best solution to the dumpster dilemma.Because parking is at a premium already on site (currently the lot gets double parked), and because of the relatedsafety concerns with the garbage truck/pedestrian conflict, leaving the dumpsters in their current location wasdeemed unacceptable. Additionally, there was overwhelming agreement that the dumpsters created such anunsightly welcome to the school that they needed to be relocated or screened. The location chosen already has acurb cut in the sidewalk. This will allow truck access to the dumpsters without the additional cost of modifying thesidewalk and road. Proposed playground enhancements and modified tennis courts leave adequate room for thedumpsters and screening.

Introduction

Pedestrian Circulation & Experience:The plan encourages linkages between the school and adjacent Fairmount Park. The plan calls for only nativespecies to be planted. Additional connections can be made through class trips to the park to observe the matureforms of species planted in the orchard and those found in the woodland entry grove. The plan also shows howteachers can move through the site and address the various landscape types and interventions, from the bio-infiltration, to the meadow, to the woodland entry to the orchard and so on. The plan also shows how students cancirculate through the space that now provides a variety of settings for play, chase and exploration.

Stormwater:By reducing the amount of impervious cover, stormwater runoff will be reduced. This means the school will help

reduce storm-related flooding. Additionally, by replacing asphalt with vegetation, the urban heat island effect willbe reduced. This also results in a more pleasant play space and provides variety in what is now an asphaltcanvas. The orchard and rain garden will do much to intercept, capture and infiltrate stormwater within the play-ground. On the southern side of campus, a bio-infiltration bed near the bus drop-off will reduce impervious coverand allow runoff to infiltrate. Additionally, the meadow and additional trees at the woodland entry grove will haveevopo-transpire much more than turf-grass, which will result in reduce stormwater runoff.

Outdoor Classroom:

The southwest knoll of the campus currently serves as an informal outdoor classroom. The plan suggests leavingthe space in turf, while the surrounding area would be planted in meadow. Existing trees will remain and can besupplemented by native flowering trees, such as Amelanchier spp. or Cercic canadensis. It includes a fairy ringof native schist boulders which children can use for active play-learning-exploration. This area will also be used for

sitting when teachers desire a more formal classroom. In time, if needed, the turf could be replaced with stonefines or stabilized aggregate to create a more durable gathering space.

Kindergarten Play Area:The kindergarten play area needs to be redesigned as its own piece. A portion of this area will be used for theschools new Baby Tree Nursery. Additional portions of the kindergarten play area asphalt could be removed andconverted to plant beds. Vines could be grown along this side of the building with great success due to its south-ern exposure. The school should begin to transform the site by reintroducing water to the site via the existing waterspouts. Initially, play in this area could be transformed with buckets and water experiments. Later, the wholeplayground could be redesigned with earthen mounds, climbing equipment and additional plantings.
