MAY HABITAT GARDENS - Crestwood Charm

If Merriam gardens are naturalistic and organic, Crestwood gardens must be fancy and schmancy, right?

Join us May 11th to see three wonderful examples of habitat gardens in the middle of traditional (and yes, even fancy-schmancy) neighborhoods.

FORMAL PROFUSION

The architectural symmetry of this house belies the wildlife focus of its gardens, which include wonderfully informal, “messy” plants like Elderberry.

COTTAGE CHARM

This Brookside bungalow is abuzz with pollinators and native plants on every side, including the entire front yard. (And a great model for people with sloping lots!)

SUNSET PRAIRIE

Vast empty lawn is the rule in grand neighborhoods, but this Sunset Hills garden hides in plain sight, with formal, charming beds of native plants.
