Everyone has to start somewhere. We started here:
The Front
The Back
Our house is about 60 years old. The previous owners removed multiple Red Cedars or so I'm told. So the yard started with no trees. In the front, they planted Asiastic Lillies. These were also planted along the south side of the house. Also in the front, we found a Rose Bush, two Purple Butterfly Bushes (buddleja davidii), and a Black Eyed Susan.
There were also some other perennials in the back and on the side: tulips, irises, and daffodils. There is also an evergreen of unknown origin in the planter on our stoop. Other than perennials, we found some annuals which had been left and seeded themselves: petunias, marigolds,and pansies.
As the backyard seemed like the best location to start experimenting, we decided to start there. Knowing that in time, we'd remove nearly everything the previous owners had planted and replace these plants with a variety of native plants.
