This 1.5 acre property on the side of a hill has a small wet wooded area, many existing shade beds dominated by invasive plants, and a sunny front bed of hostas.  The new homeowner has identified many of the native and non-native plants on the property and is working on an overall plan. The plan will be designed with plant communities, guided by the existing native plants which include sugar maple, hickories, Eastern cottonwood trees, jewel weed and gray dogwood. Goals include low maintenance for the long term, adding privacy screening, and flowering understory trees, expanding the small woods,  and restoring natives to the existing beds. Challenges include heavy deer pressure, shade, and invasive plants. For exact location, RSVP [email protected]
