Parks and Recreation Commission
Agenda Item Number 7 Agenda Date October 1. 1992
SUBJECT AND ISSUE
Review plans for Herten Memorial Native Plant Garden at McClellan Ranch Park.
BACKGROUND
The City of Cupertino is working with a group of residents on the establishment of a memorial
native plant garden, at McClellan Ranch Park, in honor of Nancy Herten. Beth Gaydos has been
designated the liaison between the City and a number of residents, as well as the Audubon
Society, wishing to implement this memorial. The strategy calls for raising funds through private
donations to establish a native garden using drip irrigation in front of the former Parks and
Recreation office at McClellan Ranch Park. Enclosed for your review, is a site plan for the
memorial garden. Landscape architects Steve and Valerie Whitehill have donated their time to
create the design, as well as provide installation supervision for the improvements. In addition
to providing a plaque honoring Nancy Hertert, there will be three different hydrozones providing
an educational opportunity for members of the public. The landscape architect says that this
project will cost $3000 and to date approximately $1700 has been raised through private
donations and a fund raising event on Sunday, September 27. The site plan has been reviewed
by both the Public Works Department and the Parks and Recreation Department and both
recommend approval of the design. Staff believes this to be a very fitting and appropriate
memorial to a tine lady.
