Habitat Gardens

at the MREC

The Habitat Garden at the Environmental Center is a civic project conceived and developed by the North Quabbin Garden Club. Today it has been expanded and nurtured by the Athol Bird and Nature Club with support from the Garden Club.

A habitat garden reflects the natural areas of a region and aims for native species that appeal, in this case, to birds, butterflies and other pollinators. The garden showcases the beauty and utility of such plants and offers a “human/nature” link in the town of Athol’s Parks and Greenway network.
