The East and Ruin Gardens at Teixeira Park in Late July

These gardens are planted with primarily American natives and pollinators. The aim is to compliment the wild landscape near the Nubanusit River to attract birds and butterflies in particular.

  1. I really like the plantings. Are these a new approach to planting at Teixeira Park?

  2. Not surprised you like it, James. They are right up your alley. Each of the parks has its own vibe. Teixeira Park is supposed to be the most wild park and has been influenced by Oudolf and a bit by you! Your last post makes my nervous about tossing your Inula racemosa ‘Sonnenspeer’ seeds about in the Ruin Garden.

    1. Maybe your colder climate will tame them, but keep watch.

    1. This has been a fun experiment for me, ks. I am just beginning to understand this palette of plants. The New Hampshire granite was from a stockpile the town already had on hand.

  4. You'd have to be a blind sort of bird or butterfly not to notice these installations, Michael! Beautifully done.

    1. Funny you should mention blind, Faisal, as I am an optometrist by profession. You always have something positive to say. Thanks for that.
