These eight panels of the pollinator garden give you a taste of the recently-rejuvenated meadow without actually venturing into it. Hopefully, by seeing these grasses, you'll become inspired to grow them in your own yard, which will make it a much more biodiverse and sustainable place to be. Key species here include a variety of native grasses, little bluestem, as well as a variety of coneflowers. You can find more information about native species (as well as some other non-invasives) -- and a sampling of them -- here. Or, you can look below to see a complete list of all the species within each panel.
Another view of the species panels, which complement the arbor.
