Palmieri Pollinator Garden
Rhode Island, USA
The Palmieri Pollinator Garden was designed to inspire homeowners to plant native perennials, trees, shrubs, and grasses that support the local ecosystem. Designed in 2019 by world-renowned landscape architect John Gwynne, the garden was developed around the existing apple trees, and features a perennial border, a wildlife pond, and an arch of “New Dawn” roses in honor of Dr. Palmieri.
Our Birdfeeder Garden, can also be found on the property. It features perennials and tall grasses that birds use to build nests and provides seed for small mammals and migrating bird species. This garden displays plants like Asters, Agastache sp, broadleaf mountain mint, and seaside goldenrod.
The gardens are tended by URI Master Gardeners and Audubon staff and volunteers. Visitors are encouraged to go searching for bugs throughout the garden. Learn and explore in the gardens while respecting the flora and fauna that call the space home!
