Above is a partially labeled list of what was already on the property before we purchased it. The red astric (*) indicates a non-native. In the past two years, I have added quite a few native trees, shrubs, seedlings, forbs, and grasses. Many are lost in the expanse--but I know where they are and 'visit' them on my walks through the yard. As they grow & spread and I add to each area, they will become more pronounced and noticable.
Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.
