Pollinators

Roswell wouldn’t be what it is today without our under-appreciated friends, pollinators. With bees, butterflies, birds, bats, and the rest of the pollinating team, Roswell can count itself lucky to have these critters hopping from flower to flower, keeping our plants sprouting. When you see these proficient pollinators hard at work in your yard, take a second to appreciate their job making sure we have plenty of plants in our parks and food on our tables.

Native Plants

Roswell’s native plants are an integral part of what makes Roswell an incredible and unique place to live. Native plants, like the milkweed bushes flowering at Barrington Hall and the Christmas ferns growing along the Big Creek trails, provide so much for us and the animals that call Roswell home. Use this video to learn just a little more about native plants and how to support them with your own native plant garden.

Roswell's Watershed

We all love the waterways that flow through Roswell like the Chattahoochee River and Big Creek, but did you know that they begin their life from as far away as the Appalachian Mountains? The Chattahoochee watershed and the resources it provides is one of the big reasons Roswell was founded in the first place!
