This front garden (below left), which is about 7 square metres, includes Boneset, Wild Bergamot, coreopsis, and echinacea, among other wildflowers.

Surrounding a Little Free Library, this 18-square-metre pollinator garden is just 2 years old. Most (90%) of the plants are native, 10% are old-root peonies that offer a wonderful dark green background for native blossoms.

Some of the plants for both were grown by the homeowner and Maitland Area Pollinator Project volunteers; others were purchased from Naturaide and Ferguson Forest Nursery.
