In the best gardens, "plants are the mulch," said Claudia West of Phyto Studio, a landscape architecture firm in Arlington, Va. No lifeless mulch shows in the firm's design for the pollinator garden at Penn State University's arboretum. ✨🐝🌸🌳🌿

The collaboration between Penn State's Center for Pollinator Research (@psupollinators) and the Phyto Studio (@phytostudio) is about better design and more biodiversity.
