It's always a work in progress but this is after 3 years. I want to extend the meadow all the way to the pond.
It looks great and so natural. We are a year in and still working on adding more "no lawn" areas.

Thanks! It gets better every year
Cool. What is that greenish cylinder in the first picture though? Some bird feeder or so?
That's a baffle on a bluebird house. It keeps predators out.
Ohh watcha got planted? And I love the pond, I wish I had enough space for one!
I think the pond is the best part of the yard! It's filter-free and pump-free. Loved by frogs.
It would be so hard to list everything. Things that come to mind are: Milkweed, pawpaw, Serviceberry, spicebush, coneflower and bergamot
The full species list would be pretty expansive.
I love the variation in plants. A list that long is good :)
I'd love to hang in a hammock amongst all these beautiful plants and open areas.
