Things are always changing in the Northern Woodlands Pollinator Garden, and we love watching the season unfold. These photos capture some recent bursts of life and color, as well as a few new features that make the garden more welcoming. With generous support from the Utility Club of Lyme, we’ve added locally crafted wooden benches – perfect for sitting a while and taking in the view. Nancy also created and installed a beautiful new sign to help visitors find us more easily. Whether you’re stopping by for a quiet moment or bringing a friend for a summer stroll, we hope these additions make your visit even more enjoyable.
And if you missed our recent Moth Ball, we hope these glimpses of the evening’s magic bring a bit of the wonder to you. It was a joyful night of discovering pollinators after dark, from delicately patterned moths to the glow of UV lights drawing curious creatures from the night. It was a gathering full of awe and community connection – thank you for following along with the life of the garden. We’re so glad to share it with you.
Our thanks to the Jack & Dorothy Byrne Foundation, The Lyme Foundation, the Utility Club of Lyme, and the many generous neighbors who make this garden possible.
