A total yard makeover focuses on woody plants
Today ’s GPOD comes from Lin Sime:“My married man and I subsist less than 10 minute from downtown Eugene , OR ( we are in Zone 8) . We used mulch on top of composition board to get disembarrass of most of the front lawn and all of the back . Most of what I chose to supersede it with are shrubs . I call it “ my bush woodland , ” both in the front and back . declination has always been my favored season , so I choose numerous shrub for their changing foliage plus some diminished evergreens . Now that most or all of my shrubs are in the ground , I decoct on a few annuals and perennial to add , specially in back . "
