It is the best time of year. This is 5 years of work and counting. It’s not low maintenance. But it’s a labor of love!


80% native, at least 80 Chicago-region species. Lots of bees and butterflies these days.

    Everything looks so healthy and happy. Did you get this started by seed?

    Spectacular! Your mix of colors has me feeling like I could be more brave with my choices.

    What would you say is the biggest maintenance task for your garden?

    You did such a great job with the different heights. I love how you put the tallest in the back and shortest in the front. You see all the different plants so well. It looks so lovely and lush!
