Gardens over flowing with color!On Cape Ann there is increasing interest in supporting our environment by installing native plants in public places. The Sawyer Free Libray and Gloucester City Hall have increased the number of native plants to support the pollinators native to our area.
Lisa Giersbach designed the native plantings at the Sawyer Free Library as part of the Library’s renovation.
The Cape Ann Garden Club, which has maintained the gardens at City Hall for many years, has installed two beautiful beds of native plants with more to follow.
The goal of 400 Trees is to expand the city’s tree canopy to combat urban heat islands, and to boost climate resilience. Two of those trees are part of the City hall native plant beds.
