As part of the renovation and redesign of the Buxton Bird Marsh and Meadow, an extensive planting took place earlier this year. The hope was to create a habitat that would attract pollinating insects to the Reserve, where they play an integral part of the grounds ecosystem.
Flowers have been planted in color waves so that guests will be greeted by an ever-changing landscape all season long. Here are just a few of the early blooms making their meadow debuts. These photos are courtesy of photographer, volunteer, and long-time friend of the Reserve Elliott Green.
