Native Garden Plant List

The native plant garden is located south of the winter garden, east of the path, across from the sensory garden.  It was originally named the Natives for Home Landscape Garden.   60% of the plants from the original installation (in the year 1999) were lost.  A number of non-native plants were added, or appeared in the garden, later on.  In the fall of 2014, non-native plants were removed, 5 cubic yards of compost were spread & more native plants were added.
