It's always a work in progress but this is after 3 years. I want to extend the meadow all the way to the pond.
Cool. What is that greenish cylinder in the first picture though? Some bird feeder or so?

That's a baffle on a bluebird house. It keeps predators out.
It looks great and so natural. We are a year in and still working on adding more "no lawn" areas.
Thanks! It gets better every year
I'd love to hang in a hammock amongst all these beautiful plants and open areas.
Ohh watcha got planted? And I love the pond, I wish I had enough space for one!
I think the pond is the best part of the yard! It's filter-free and pump-free. Loved by frogs.
It would be so hard to list everything. Things that come to mind are: Milkweed, pawpaw, Serviceberry, spicebush, coneflower and bergamot
The full species list would be pretty expansive.
I love the variation in plants. A list that long is good :)
