THE BIG PICTURE

The Garden provides biodiversity, which in turn sustains life. This can result in surprise encounters. Volunteer Helen Blencowe recalls walking around a bend one morning and coming face-to-face with a great blue heron (Ardea herodias). “I don’t know who was more startled, the heron or me!” Photo by Tom Hennessy.
