Wakefield Pollinator Garden Takes Next Steps
Sponsored by the Wakefield Rotary Club, the garden aims to be a community asset.
Wakefield new Pollinator Garden took its next steps this week, sponsored by the Wakefield Rotary Club. Club President Wendy Maguire, Past President Barbara Worley and Past President Judy Gordon scouted two potential locations for the garden.
"It's important that the garden be away from a major path to avoid frightening the pollinators away," Maguire said.
After considering spots based on flood areas, foot traffic and visibility, the club has narrowed the location down to a spot near Veteran's Field and one by Lake Quannapowitt's popular walking path.

Several weeks ago, Maguire, Past President Amy Luckiewicz and new member Joie Gerrish sowed over 25 varieties of seeds at Maguire's home. As the seeds are still growing, the club will take the time to select the best location in consultation with the Friends of Lake Quannapowitt and Dennis Fazio from the Department of Public Works.
