Beaverton City Library
12375 SW 5th St, Beaverton, OR 97005, USA
The Beaverton City Library pollinator site builds on existing landscaping by adding native and pollinator-friendly understory plants around established shrubs. The garden includes a mix of evergreen structure, flowering perennials, and sedge grasses that provide seasonal nectar, shelter, and habitat for bees and butterflies. By layering new native plantings into a well-used civic space, the garden supports biodiversity while maintaining a clean, welcoming landscape for library visitors.

Hardy Geranium (Geranium spp.) – long-blooming, pollinator-friendly perennial
