Location: |
Along the train tracks, across from Trillium Creek Family Farm |

|
|
| |
Purpose: |
Plants featured in this garden attract hovering hummingbirds looking for nectar. The garden also serves as a bioswale, a shallow depression created in the earth to accept and convey storm-water runoff. Plants soak up the water like a sponge, and can survive standing water as well. |
