In the last 6 years, we have created two large woodland gardens, in our front yard around a mature Red Maple, and in the back yard around a very large clump of 4 Cottonwoods. We killed the lawn there with 8 inches on fresh wood chips, and have begun filling the areas with native understory trees, shrubs and perennials. All of our leaves stay where they fall.We have 6 native prairie gardens that together equate to about 12000 square feet, with plant varieties too numerous to list. We have 2 bog gardens that are still in the development stage. We have eliminated lots of lawn with more still to be converted. We have so much life in our yard now!!!
