June 14, 2019 – Lumberton Meadow

This past month, the Lumberton Campus Meadow displayed a wonderful show of color. In early June, a group of residents gathered to enjoy a walk guided by our resident, Miriam Swartz, who is our “guru” on the topic of wildflowers. Of particular note was the White Beardtongue, Penstemon digitalis, and the Carolina Pea, Thermopsis villosa. Check out the video at https://youtu.be/dwOmEBC1eBc on for an “up close and personal” tour.

This fall marks the five-year anniversary of the Lumberton Campus restoration. We are pleased to see the improvements to this landscape over the years and as we look ahead to the work on the Medford Campus, which culminates with the planting this fall, we look forward to this area being rejuvenated as well.
