On quiet days you can hear the garden before you see it.  Chirps and tweets from songbirds and the buzzing sounds of pollinators fill the air.
  A coral-colored canopy of a native honeysuckle covers the entryway. Hummingbirds zip past feasting on the nectar of the tubular plants. Inside, the pavilion has information about the garden and inviting chairs in the shade.  Ahead is a vibrant, blowsy, garden chock full of grasses, annuals and perennials flowers of every imaginable shape and color, and bright, handmade signs.
  Entering further, the garden envelopes you.  Tall grasses sway overhead, giant sunflowers and Rudbeckia soar to the sky, and the sounds of insects fill your ears.  After a rest at the pergola, watch for birds and frogs at the wildlife pond, and marvel at the multi-species hedge that will soon provide cover and nesting sites for birds. The back corner is a surprise - a fruit and vegetable garden.  Cantaloupe, dry beans, peppers, tomatoes, blueberries and more are ripening under the summer sun.
  Leaving the garden, cross the field and enjoy the informational signs on moths and butterflies along the Monarch Alley.  In July and August, the Tithonia provide needed nectar for hundreds of monarch butterflies on their long migration to Mexico.
