On our May 11th Habitat Garden Tour, we’ll visit three lovely examples of habitat gardens that are grown in the middle of traditional neighborhoods, while offering generous support to wildlife:
FORMAL PROFUSION
The architectural symmetry of this house belies the wildlife focus of its gardens, which include wonderfully informal, “messy” plants like Elderberry.
COTTAGE CHARM
This Brookside bungalow is abuzz with pollinators and native plants on every side, including the entire front yard. (This is also a great model for people with sloping lots!)
SUNSET PRAIRIE
Vast empty lawn is the rule in grand neighborhoods, but this Sunset West garden hides in plain sight, with charming beds of native plants.
