An illustration of nature in motion, this garden, located in front of the Insectarium, invites visitors to explore and deepen our connection with life in all its forms. It showcases indigenous flowering plants, which play a crucial role in the balance of biodiversity.
A two-way slope
A must-see for the museum’s underground entrance, the sloping terrain of the Pollinators’ Garden contributes to the visitor experience. You can observe captivating moments between insects and plants before burrowing underground, like an insect making its way through the ground.
Not only a nod to the underground tunnels of insects, this terrain variation offers perennials added protection from wind and winter cold, helping them thrive.
Like nature itself
The Pollinator Garden celebrates wild plants that emerge unexpectedly along streets and in wooded areas. A haven for a diverse array of pollinating insects, it is home to around 75 plant species.
This garden features nectar-producing plants, shrubs, and host plants that support a variety of insect species. Among them are milkweed species, rudbeckias, and fennel.
From May to September, according to their blooming season, the indigenous plants of this garden produce different textures and smells that will give you landscaping ideas for your flowerbeds.
