Denville Pollinator Gardens

Summersweet Design is thrilled to present two thoughtfully crafted garden beds at Denville’s Riverside Drive parks, blending beauty, sustainability, and ecological benefits for the community to enjoy. Both gardens showcase a diverse selection of New Jersey native plants, chosen not only for their visual appeal but also for their crucial role in supporting the local ecosystem. This collaborative project, with plans developed for the Denville Environmental Commission and Green Team, will be brought to life by the Denville Beautification Committee through careful planting and ongoing care. The plants, installed as small plugs, will take time to reach their full maturity, as illustrated in detailed scale drawings, promising long-term ecological value and aesthetic beauty.

Rain Garden (Drainage Bed)

This garden surrounds a drainage bed and will transform it into a thriving rain garden. Not only will it add vibrant plant life, but it will also play a vital role in managing stormwater and reducing flooding. The chosen native plants will soak up excess water and help keep local waterways cleaner, all while adding texture and color to the landscape.

Entrance Garden (Parking Bed)

The second garden is designed to greet visitors from the parking lot with a burst of life and color, encouraging them to explore the park. It’s filled with native species that will attract pollinators like butterflies and bees, creating a welcoming, lively atmosphere.
