The Highland Park (NJ) Garden Club has been revived. Here are members on 28 May 2008 visiting the garden of Natalie and Arnold Henderson, Highland Park’s first certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat (National Wildlife Federation). The main flowers up front are cultivars of the native cranesbill geranium, in the true geranium genus. The Backyard Wildlife Program itself has been expanded in Highland Park, since we are now registered as trying for entire Community Wildlife certification. Send a message to Steve Barnes via “contact us” on this site if you’d like to learn how to have your own yard certified. (Hint: supply food such as berries for birds, nesting cover such as native shrubs, and water; that’s about it.)
