The woodland garden required a tremendous amount of work in order to begin planting! Several trees and shrubs which were planted when the landscaping began had suffered from the shade of the Pine trees and had to be removed. Posts and barbed wire fencing along the road were also removed. And did we mention weeds? This area had been neglected for many, many years. A Bamboo-like grass (which we had planted years ago) was running rampant throughout the area and the weeding took forever!

After endless hours of preparing the site, two years later we're ready for planting! The plants have been selected and are waiting at the entry to the woodland garden.
