Plants of Monticello Park

Species Index

A wide variety of plants can be found in Monticello Park. Even though plants stay still and birds move around, plants can often be more difficult to identify. A plant's appearance can vary considerably, depending on the season and its stage of growth. The park plant list is likely to always be a work in progress, with more species being added as they are discovered. Photos in this section are by Ashley Bradford unless otherwise noted.
