Introduction
1.1.1. PurposeThe purpose of this document is to state some simple design and selection criteria and present them in the form of guidelines which will maximise the benefits of trees, shrubs and ground cover in schools, while minimising risk and maintenance issues.
Success comes from the ability to put the right plant in the right location.
1.1.2 Landscape Design
The design of the outdoor spaces is a specialist activity as important as the design of indoor spaces.
Plants should be an integral part of the outdoor spaces of all educational institutions.
The selection of plants needs to be carefully considered, and later sections given detailed advice on appropriate plant selection.
Not all trees respond well in the built environment and some have an adverse effect on buildings, paving, underground services, overhead cables and neighbouring properties. Trees should not be planted where they can adversely affect their surroundings over their life into maturity.
To fulfil a shade need it may be preferable to erect a shade structure such as a pergola or verandah.
Tree and shrub selection should consider student supervision and surveillance. No vegetation should exist in the zone from about one metre to two metres above ground level.
Trees with a natural canopy which starts two metres above the ground at maturity are the most appropriate.
Trees should not be planted closer than their mature spread to buildings and be kept clear of paths, underground services and boundaries.
Trees on reactive soil sites should not be planted closer to buildings or boundaries than two and one-half times their mature height. Deciduous trees can be used to allow winter sun to penetrate particular areas, whereas evergreen trees provide shade all year. If trees are intended to provide shade their best location is an arc from north-east by east to north-west by west.
For complete canopy closure, trees should be planted slightly less than one mature diameter from each other.
1.1.3 Plant Selection
Plants are best chosen to fulfil one or more particular functions, which can be covered under the following headings:
Climate Modification
− provide shade and protection against sun and wind.
− reduce air movement and help control dust movement
− help reduce air temperature through natural evaporative cooling.
− contribute to the carbon dioxide/oxygen cycle.
−
Visual quality
− define, separate or link spaces
− provide appropriate screening
Environmental Considerations
− introduce the natural environment into school grounds.
− highlight seasonal changes
− provide a habitat for birds.
The process requires selecting the most appropriate plants and locations. Plants should have sufficient space in which to fully develop the characteristics for which they were chosen.
The plant lists that follow identify suitable and unsuitable plants for educational institutions, in Metropolitan Adelaide. The lists are not exhaustive but the suitable plants are generally ones which require minimum maintenance and are largely free of the most common plant failings.
Australian native plants are often promoted as being ‘low
maintenance’, and they are in their local natural environment. To perform optimally in a built up environment however they do need water and nutrients, and judicious pruning at times.
The most appropriate plants are those that come from or do well in the local soil and climate.
It is generally accepted that the smaller plant size, the more
successful its establishment will be. The larger the plant, the greater the likelihood of root damage, and thus the larger the pause in plant growth.
Tube-stock or plants no taller than 1 metre are recommended. Sometimes it is tempting to buy large plants for initial effect. If this is done, then expect a slower growth rate in the plants early years, whose growth could be overtaken by smaller specimens.
When selecting a suitable tree, it should have a single stem which should be firm for its size, and not whippy.
When selecting a shrub, the canopy should be similar in form to the adult plant. The canopy of either tree or shrub should be well balanced and showing new leaves or leaf-buds.
These guidelines are DETE specific
Plants should appear vigorous, in good health and have been well cared for. Those which are in poor condition and what may appear to be bargains could be suspect.
1.1.4 Planting Guide
Trees and shrubs should be planted upright and in a reasonably well drained area free of competition from other plants, lawn and weeds. Ensure minimum damage is done to the roots during planting. Plants should be planted when the soil is warm and moist,
temperature mild and no risk of frost. Autumn is the ideal time, with Spring next.
Ensure that the soil in the planting area is loose and free of weeds. Cultivate to break up heavy clay and add gypsum.
Do not create a smooth sided hole as the roots will have difficulty spreading into the surrounding soil.
Spread the roots from the root ball, plant in the hole and firm the soil down and around the plant. Water well to help compact the soil.
Mulching
Mulching is an important means of reducing water loss from evaporation, and reducing weed competition. Much can be any organic material such as wood chips or straw. Mulch on garden areas generally should be a material that does not get spread around or blown away easily Wood chip and shaving mulches are available that mat together well. Mulch should be 50-75mm deep.
Fertilising
For new plants, a slow release fertiliser spread on top of the soil is preferred.
Watering
Plants need regular watering in the first two years to ensure their establishment. Special arrangements need to be made during school holiday periods.
If the root system of young plants dry out, they will die.
Staking
Staking is not recommended to support a tree, as it should be allowed to develop freely to resist wind forces. If it is necessary in some locations, then three stakes with a loose bracing of the tree to allow movement is preferred.
Stakes and mesh surrounds can be used to protect young plants from damage from mowers and vandalism.
Consider the local circumstances, as stakes can be used for inappropriate purposes.
1.1.5 Maintenance
It is recommended that the school establish a diary or log book (incorporated into the Facilities Management Plan) to list all routine and seasonal tasks required to maintain the site landscape in peak condition.
Include such items
as:-− fertilising regimes
− nursery and landscape material suppliers and prices
− tool and equipment maintenance requirements
− list plant failures for future reference
− list storm damage and insect attacks
− include a site planting plan with all plants identified
The following check list of grounds maintenance work can be used as a
guide:-Generally
− regularly clean up leaves, branches, berries and needles especially from paths and stormwater channels.
− inspect gutters, down-pipes and sumps and clear blockages.
− check for leaks from taps and irrigation system.
− report vandalism and graffiti as it arises
− consider student traffic patterns and adjust paths to suit, if possible.
− examine steps and ramps and paving for occupational, health and safety requirements.
Oval and Grass Areas
− water to provide a safe playing surface, being careful not to over or under-water.
− consider replacing grassed areas with mulch to reduce water use and maintenance where not specifically required to be grass.
− core and tyne playing field every three years.
− fertilise, top-dress and treat for weeds regularly.
− check sprinkler operation and ensure head to head coverage.
− be aware of potential for bee stings from clover flowers and reduce clover content, if a problem.
Garden Areas
− ensure mulch cover is maintained.
− ensure a regular regime of weed removal before they become established.
− remove nuisance tree and bush limbs.
− remove dead and dying plants.
− consider the life span of plants and plan a replanting program in advance of their removal.
− paths should be clear from intruding foliage.
− keep plants with significant pollen production away from paths to avoid upsetting those susceptible to their effects.
Trees and Shrubs
− have a tree audit carried out every five years (or on demand) to ensure they remain in a safe condition.
− report any signs of large dying limbs, termites, borers, and major fungal attack.

Plants not
Recommended
1.3.1 PurposeThe list of plants which are not recommended to be planted on educational sites in Metropolitan Adelaide has been compiled from 12 years feedback from school sites.
The list includes those that have proven to be either a nuisance, dangerous or inappropriate. Nuisance plants are those which develop low level canopies which either obscure supervision or become an eye level occupational health risk, those with spikes or spines, berries or sharp or prickly leaf margins. Dangerous plants are those which drop limbs without notice, tend to split limbs or break due to canopy weight.
Inappropriate plants are those that are unsuitable for the climate, especially those that have excessive water demands, those that grow too big, have invasive root systems or are very short lived. some trees are also unsuitable due to susceptibility to borer and termite infestation.
1.3.2 Management
The obvious preferred risk management strategy is not to plant trees and shrubs that are proven to be inappropriate.
Regular inspection audits of trees and shrubs on existing sites should be undertaken to ensure inappropriate plants do not exist and that current plants are in good healthy condition, to maintain a risk free environment.
Expert arboricultural advice should be obtained to ensure appropriate auditing and maintenance information is provided.

Rating:
To help explain why it is imprudent and a risk to plant or retain these trees on campus a rating system has been applied as follows: (A) too big anywhere near buildings and paths, likely to drop limbs,
likely to collapse, prone to borers, prone to termites.
(B) likely to drop limbs, likely to collapse, prone to borers, prone to termites.
(C) likely to collapse, prone to borers, prone to termites. (D) prone to borers, prone to termites.

Plants not Permitted
1.4.1 Purpose
There are some plants that are not permitted to be on educational sites. These are plants that are known to be poisonous or harmful.
Poisonous plants are those which exude irritant sap, cause allergic reactions from pollen as well as those with parts that can be
poisonous when ingested. for the most part, however, poisons taste so unpleasant that it is unlikely that sufficient amounts will be ingested to cause harm.
