Conservancy garden helps protect and maintain balance of area’s native species

Learning honeybees are not native to North America felt similar to the day we all learned Pluto was no longer a fully-fledged planet.
“Yes, our most well-known bee is not native to North America,” said Swampscott resident Suzanne Hale over the phone in a recent interview. “It’s OK, like honeybees still provide us with a lot – because they are very important for our agriculture.”
The Swampscott Conservancy member supplied the honeybee factoid when the Swampscott Reporter picked her brain about the environmental organization’s pollinator garden on the lawn of the Elihu Thomson Administration Building. She is the architect behind the panoply of native plants rooted in the spot where the Thomson estate formerly planted flowers.

The Unitarian Universalist Church of Greater Lynn is going wild! with wildflowers that is. With the help of the Swampscott Conservancy, church members planted 136 seedlings of native Canada Windflower (Anemone canadensis), Eastern Red Columbine (Aquilegia canadensis), and Wild Geranium (Geranium maculatum) in a wooded area on the church’s property.
Suzanne Hale, Conservancy member and native plant enthusiast, assisted in the selection and placement of the plants. Jeannette McGinn and Jim Olivetti, church members, organized the May 1st event, which brought 14 people out, trowels in hand, ready to start planting. With everyone wearing masks and socially distancing, the seedlings were gently transplanted from pot to soil, ready to root and grow in their new woodland home.
