Project Contact: Nanette O’Hara

This small demonstration garden can be found just outside the Rabun County Extension Office in downtown Clayton, and adjacent to the Rabun County Supervisor of Elections Office — where county residents cast their votes during elections. This high-visibility location makes it ideally suited to showcase the beauty and diversity of small trees, shrubs, flowers and vines that attract pollinators.

Among the perennial native species planted here are Butterfly Milkweed, Purple Coneflower and Fothergilla. Non-natives include a Chaste Tree and annually planted zinnias.

The garden was designed and is maintained by Headwaters Master Gardeners.
