Spring rains and summer sun resulted in an explosion of great beauty in the Bradford Woods Reserve. Tall coreopsis reached 8-9 feet tall, false sunflowers grew to 7 feet, and clumps of pink monardo were interspersed. Many milkweed which are the mainstay of the monarch butterfly and its larvae bloomed in the "Butterfly Meadow". Other native wildflowers continue to bloom into early Fall.

As meadows, field and vacant lots give way to lawns and concrete in the surrounding area, the various habitats of our Reserve with their wildflowers and shrubs provide needed food and nectar for insects, butterflies and wildlife!
