CAA Pollinator Garden
By collaborating on this Pollinator Garden, the Community Action Agency and the Civic Garden Center aspire to build a lasting people-plant connection at the CAA headquarters and expose a new generation to the beauty and value of native plants and conservation. As environmental justice becomes a larger part of the conversation around poverty and inequality, projects like this represent a small-scale localized approach to repairing urban environments and transforming our relationships with nature.
The native plants in this garden are:
Andropogon gerardii - Big Bluestem
Aronia melanocarpa ‘Low Scape Mound’ - Low Scape Mound Chokeberry
Baptisia australis - Blue False Indigo
Eupatorium purpureum - Sweet Joe Pye Weed
Physocarpus opulifolius - Common Ninebark
Pycnanthemum muticum - Short-Toothed Mountain Mint
Rudbeckia fulgida - Black-eyed Susan
Sporobolus heterolepis - Prairie Dropseed
Viburnum nudum ‘Brandywine’ - Brandywine Possumhaw Viburnum
