Jane Bartlett Heisinger Memorial Wildflower Garden

The entrance to the Jane B. Heisinger Wildflower Garden is located next to the Linda Nykaza Albanese Herb Garden. It is filled with more than 100 local species on about one-quarter of an acre and represents the diversity of native plants that can be used for the home landscape. It was established as a living memorial to Francis Bartlett's daughter, Jane Bartlett Heisinger who passed away in 1991. This garden emphasizes that native plants are important to the local ecosystem because they provide sustenance and habitat for native insects, bees, butterflies, birds, and animals.

Some of the noted plants in this garden are Virginia Bluebells (Mertensia virginica), Trout Lilies (Erythronium americanum), Mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum), Black Cohosh (Actaea racemosa), and Jack-in-the-Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum).
