Planted in 2016, the Governor's Drive Songbird Garden was a collaborative effort between students in the Stockbridge School of Agriculture and campus landscape management staff. The native trees, shrubs, and summer blooming flowers provide abundant food for songbirds and insect pollinators. Behind the oval garden a hedgerow of sumac provides additional flowers to feed pollinators, hollow stems for pollinator nests and abundant berries to feed birds. Inspired by President Obama's initiative to increase pollinator habitat across the country, this garden is registered with the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge. Native plants line an ADA accessible path that leads to secluded seating areas. For those who are looking to have a quiet moment to themselves, the birds, and the bees, this bucolic garden provides a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of the central campus.
