Garden #7 The South Slope Woodland
Landscaping the south slope is a work in progress. The goal is to replace the turfgrass and plant a woodland garden as the trees mature and create ever more shade. The large tulip poplar and white pines are the oldest trees here. Unfortunately, the latter grow under electric wires and must be pruned regularly. The Kentucky coffee tree, black maple and blackgum have been here for 20 years and have almost reached maturity. Shrubs, flowers and a few more trees were planted in 2024, and we are curious to see how this new garden will evolve in the years to come.
