Ornamental, beds and borders where evergreen conifers and deciduous shrubs mingle with perennials, bulbs, and a few favorite annuals. Some Iowa prairie plants such as side-oats grama grass. A still-water, self-maintaining pond. Big arbors, trellises and pylons for clematis and morning glory. Ground covers, shade plants for wet spots and dry spots. Some choice woody plants such as cutleaf smooth sumac, trained as a candelabra. Constantly evolving. A lot of fun, especially to share.
