Pollinator Pathway

The Hanover Garden Club Native Plant Teaching Garden is a display and teaching garden with a variety of trees, shrubs, berries, vines, ground covers, and perennials native to Northeastern Highlands Ecoregion. Our all volunteer club installed the garden over two seasons, and hosts native plant workshops at the garden. The garden prioritizes native plants that support bees, moths, birds, insects, and other pollinators important to our local food web and ecosystem.
