[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brookside Gardens has plenty of non-natives and they also use pesticides.[/quote] Aha, hence the lack of butterflies.[/quote] I was just there last weekend for the first time since I’ve gotten interested in gardening with native plants. I was very surprised that they had a TON of the butterfly bush (buddelia..sp?) and didn’t have any section devoted special to natives. Unless you count the “children’s garden” which is very small and has few plants. They also have a lot of annuals, it seems to me, which I don’t think is necessarily bad but for people looking to get ideas on sustainable gardens (eg that they don’t need to replant each year), there isn’t much inspiration. Are there other public gardens in the area that show off what can be achieved with natives in terms of garden design/landscape possibilities ?[/quote]
