About The Garden
The Micheal A. Hall Park Pollinator Garden was installed in late 2023 as part of the larger detention basin project taking place in the park. This garden was designed by Landscape Architect, April Owens, with the intention of using California native plants to create a thriving habitat for our local pollinators. The Town of Windsor is committed to creating drought tolerant living landscapes that promote both water conservation and biodiversity in our environment. We hope this garden can serve as inspiration for residents to follow in their own home yards and gardens.
