Description: The plan consists of native perennials selected for pollinator and butterfly habitat and continuous flowering all season. Evergreen hollies are used for screening at the north end of the bed along Masonic St. for some privacy from the street by the picnic table, and alongside the handicapped parking as per request of the city of Northampton. A native honeysuckle is intended to climb and eventually conceal the caged rainwater harvesting tank.
