Friends of Greenview and Pioneer Nature Area

Purples, yellows, and whites fill Greenview Pollinator Garden this late summer. Joe Pye w**d, boneset, ironw**d, sunflowers, rudbeckias, and rattlesnake master all in bloom.

Community support keeps this garden growing. Thank you. friendsofgreenview.org.

Some “w**ds” are native. Some wildflowers aren’t. Friends of Greenview/pioneer to reduce invasive w**ds and encourage native plants that support pollinators and wildlife.

Tall grass season at Greenview. But too much grass crowds out wildflowers butterflies need. So we balance it: overseeding + a fall burn this year to weaken the grasses

Midsummer at the Greenview Pollinator Garden. Late July brought wildflowers into full color, drawing in pollinators and birds. This garden is possible thanks to generous donations from our community

Late July, and the meadows at the nature area are full of wildflowers.

Another summer evening at Greenview Pond. The chimney swifts come out to feed as the sun goes down, cutting across the sky in tight loops, chittering back and forth as they fly. Worth a slow walk down to the water this time of day

Late July at the Pollinator Garden. Coneflower, monarda, milkw**d, liatris, and more filling in fast.

Plant IDs on the signs, or check friendsofgreenview.org.

Bees get the spotlight, but the pollinator garden’s got a full supporting cast. Spiders, frogs, wasps, moths, everybody’s got a role
