John’s nine-acre property is a vibrant sanctuary for pollinators like butterflies and hummingbirds. His gardens feature a mix of native and non-native nectar plants, along with colorful landscaping, multiple water features, arbors, and a striking 10-foot sandstone monolith.
Beyond the gardens, ponds, and wooded trails, John has partnered with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to restore five acres of former hay fields to native prairie and savanna. The restoration began in fall 2020, with seeding completed in June 2022.
