Saturday, August 10 from 10am-12pm. Meet at the Wellesley Free Library parking lot (530 Washington Street, Wellesley).

Join Landscape Interactions Principal Evan Abramson for a walking tour of the new Simons Park landscape design in downtown Wellesley. What was once a half-acre lawn is now a highly diverse, highly designed community space to support at-risk bees and butterflies in Eastern Massachusetts.

The project features seven unique areas, including a native flowering grassland, bee and butterfly lawn, meadow, woodland edge, reading nook, shaded understory and circular gathering space. Learn about Landscape Interactions’ hands on collaboration with the Wellesley Natural Resources Commission and DPW to restore this landscape to higher levels of biodiversity.

Registration for this event is now free for members and $10 for nonmembers. The tour is limited to 50 people.
