The Pollinator Garden

The pollinator garden is designed in a prairie style with a mix of perennials and ornamental grasses flanked on the edges by woody shrubs. The garden provides pollinators such as birds, bats, butterflies, moths, and bees with food and shelter.

The Riparian Zone

The Riparian Zone is the area of the garden that includes Johnson Creek. The creek provides habitat for small numbers of chinook and Coho salmon, steelhead, and coastal cutthroat trout. There are also native mussels, river lamprey, and lots of crawdads.
