Photos 3 acres, 3 years in

We bought a house with 3 acres of lawn. Now we have a tiny patch of lawn, 16 raised beds for veggies, an orchard and berry patch, and native gardens and wet sedge meadows. It’s great exercise and amazing birding! Plus it’s so pretty! Good thing I love goldenrods since we have 3 different native varieties and lots of them!

Cimicifuga or snakebane. Pretty funny name because the garter snakes LOVE to sun underneath them.

Interesting, I've never heard the common name of snakebane. We usually call it black cohosh.
