Native Plant Garden Springs to Life
The wildflowers are blooming in CNT’s garden of plants native to Illinois. Virginia bluebells and blood root, shown to the right, were the first flowers to appear in April, brightening the green space just to the east of our building. Other plants are growing at an almost visible rate, including columbine, wild ginger and cup plant. And on April 18, staff spotted a pair of downy woodpeckers among the blossoming flowers.
CNT’s native garden is an important feature of our green building. Not only do the indigenous plants not require watering, they contribute to the overall cooling effect the garden provides to the neighborhood.
