native bee conservation garden

Plantings in this demonstration area have been specifically chosen to be most beneficial to our native bees, by providing essential pollen and nectar sources as well as habitat.  The focal point of the space is a bee and bug "hotel" that incorporates a large variety of nesting material for native bees, beneficial insects and butterflies.

Wildlife sustaining groves

Several wildlife sustaining groves have been planted strategically in the habitat.  Native tree and shrub specimens are some of our best plant choices for supporting the entire food web.  Native oak and birch species for example are hosts to 500+ species of Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths).
