Foliage and texture in a woodland garden design
Woodland gardens are dependent on foliage texture for much of their subtle beauty. Three native plants, ….. Jack in the Pulpit, Solomon’s Seal and Mayapple are three plants that are standouts in the woodland garden for their foliage rather than their subtle flowers.
Raised planters are a hit in the woodland garden
Living with deer is a wonderful experience. Everyday I see them browsing through the yard is both a joy and a horror. What are they after today? Will the prized hostas survive this time around? So, why not serve them a delicious smorgasbord right at the perfect eating height. We decided to experiment with veggies and herbs this year in raised planters. I know the rabbits can’t get them but I have a feeling the deer are going to thank me big time. Follow along this summer and see if the deer get more produce than I do from our raised-planter experiment.
