The Bernice Gardeners

“The wild flower garden supports hundreds of dragonflies, butterflies and moths. We have flowers such as cosmos, rudbeckias, zinnias and bronze fennel, which is a host plant for the anise butterfly. The garden also has herbs such as rosemary and three to four varieties of lavender. The predominant plantings are ornamental grasses and there are also several varieties of day lilies.”~ Adrienne Taylor
