Pollinator Garden Spaces

Surrounded by evergreens and native grasses, we transformed the once open lawn into enclosed garden spaces connected by pathways.

Our nine gardens and the rewilded surroundings provide food and shelter for native Mason bees and Bumblebees, migrating butterflies, birds, and other wildlife.

More Flowers = More Flavor

We planted our gardens to provide continuous sources of food throughout the season for our resident Honey bees. The wide variety of flowers they are provided creates a more flavorful and exquisitely delicious honey.
