My wife and I spent most of yesterday planting an all native garden in our front yard. It was a lot of work, but hopefully it will be mostly maintenance from now on. We when to Nith River Native Plants and bought a bunch of little plants. They are all quite small, but the should fill in a bit (although it will take a few years for them to grow in completely). We now have:
- Mayapple
- Bloodroot
- Red and White Baneberry
- Canada Anenome
- Wild Ginger
- Wild Geranium
- Early Meadow Rue
- Heart Leafed Aster
- Woodland Strawberry
- Smooth Solomon’s Seal
- False Solomon’s Seal
- Starry False Solomon’s Seal
- Yellow Violet
We also supplemented these with purple violets and ostrich ferns from our backyard.
