High Park Stewards: Boulevard Bed Beautification August 28, 2011

The Boulevard Beds are a savannah wildflower demonstration garden located around the perimeter of the parking lot east of the Grenadier Café and Teahouse.

The High Park Volunteer Stewardship Program began planting the Boulevard Beds during the spring of 2001 as a way to show the public what High Park's native plants look like. During each season, there are different flowers in bloom.

High Park Steward and Landscape Designer Henny Markus, who is redesigning the gardens, is leading this session where we will weed, prune and possibly transplant native black oak savannah species to showcase the beauty of our natural heritage.

We will meet at the site in front of the Grenadier Restaurant parking lot at 10:30. Please bring water and wear a hat and clothing that covers your arms, legs and feet.
