Nannyberry


We planted a nannyberry bush (viburnum lentago) in memory of a St. Vital resident who periodically came to our gardens and enjoyed the results of our efforts. The nannyberry sits in the corner of the Theatre area and will help to make this area more private when interpretation staff are presenting to visitors.

Fruit from the nannyberry was eaten by indigenous people. The bush is a food source for  birds, butterflies, bees and other showy insects.
