First Parish Plymouth Unitarian Universalist
12 Church Street, Plymouth, MA 02360
First Parish Plymouth Unitarian Universalist stands beside Burial Hill in Plymouth, MA. This site has been a continuous place of worship since the Pilgrims built a fort here in 1622. Nestled beside the Brewster Chapel, the First Parish Plymouth Social Action Committee has built a pollinator garden of mostly native plants. Many plants have been donated by church members from their own thriving gardens.
Native plants include wild bergamont (monarda fistulosa), cardinal flower (lobelia cardinalis), black-eyed susan (redbeckia hirta), lance-leaved coreopsis (coreopsis lanceolata), scarlet beebalm (monarda diyma), brown-eyed susan (rudbeckia triloba), yarrow (achillea millefolium), swamp milkweed (asclepias incarnata), plains coreopsis (coreopsis tinctoria), butterfly weed (asclepias tuberosa), lupine (lupinus), varieties of garden phlox (phlox paniculata) and common milkweed (asclepias syriaca).
