Flowery Meadow
About the Flowery Meadow
Native wildflowers are planted alongside ornamentals to create a naturalistic looking flowery meadow, providing nectar for pollinators, seedheads for birds and insects, and shelter for wildlife throughout the year. We love to watch it changing through the seasons.
