Since that time she has focused on gardening for pollinators in the Pollinator Garden, tending the needs of the native plant landscape for the benefit of the critically important insects (bees, butterflies, moths and more!) that bring blooms and berries to so many of our beloved plants and food crops.
Connecting visitors, gardeners, and the natural landscape, this walk has a unique focus with each new season and an opportunity to look at the Garden in a whole new way.
