About the Garden

What used to be a big lawn — soggy in some spots, scorched in others — has slowly transformed into a dynamic native plant garden that joyfully hosts many pollinators. A dry creekbed and swales hold onto rainwater. Areas for rest and play evolve with a growing family. The diverse sun and shade conditions offer a good challenge. The only consistent thing is the clay soil.
