Garden-911 Boston owner Carol Lundeen with her Old Time Farm Collie, Harper, in their home garden in North Easton, MA.
The yellow foreground flowers are Rudbeckia, brown-eyed Susans, and in the background, the pink flowers are purple coneflowers, Echinaceae purpea. These herbaceous perennials are native to MA and New England, and support pollinators such as native bees and butterflies with nectar and pollen.
Harper is an excellent gardener, specializing in romping through and plowing over native plants at all stages of their life cycles.
