Fort Missoula Native Plant Garden

Location Info: The Fort Missoula Native Plant Garden was designed by a working group of children and dedicated adults in 1999. Today the garden has grown into an impressive outdoor learning space with a three-season classroom. The garden provides habitat for a variety of native plants and their pollinators, and a diverse range of bird species. Additional trails lead down to the riparian area along the Bitterroot River.
