Over the years we have replaced 75% of lawn with perennial gardens, unmown meadow, and native trees. Most of property is wooded, including some wetlands. Over 25 species of native trees and shrubs were already growing on the property - we've added a few more. We have also been removing invasive plant species for years (garlic mustard, Jap. honeysuckle, Oriental bittersweet, burning bush, Jap. barberry, multiflora rose, wineberry, mugwort) that wander over property lines from neighbors' properties or are dispersed by birds and other wildlife. Asian jumping worms have become a new problem over the past few years.
