The Wildlife Garden at New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill is a space meant to represent planting beneficial to different forms of wildlife. The area of the garden is a historic dump from the original farm, and had a unique combination of escaped cultivation invasives as well as dense thickets of invasive species. Over the last few years I’ve been able to remove large amount of dead trees that were either killed through wind damage, or girdled by invasives. I’ve also been able to pull many of the invasive thickets out using heavy equipment to manage these spaces. This garden was then handled by my stewardship team member Georgia Albanese who then went through and mitigated all the remaining invasives by hand and has installed hundred of wildlife beneficial plants in the newly restored space.
