Water Department Parking Lot Planting bed
The bold colors of New England Asters (Aster novae-angleae), Seaside Goldenrods (Solidago sempervirens), and Butterfly Weeds (Asclepias tuberosa) have faded from the perennial garden, but there is still much to see and enjoy. Here, the seeds of Swamp Milkweed (A. syriaca), the leaves and fruit of Red Chokeberry (Aronia arbutifolia), and the seeds of Seaside Goldenrod offer a variety of textures and color.
