Planting Trees


Stacy here, helping out with some changes at Cuddy’s this week. Everything seems much happier after a couple of nice rain showers. The Fragrant Viburnums were removed from the dry garden and were replaced by some Little Twist Flowering Cherries (Prunus incisa ‘Little Twist’.) Hopefully they will be happy in their new home.

Planting has started along the side of the Turkey Hatchery, and Lucas taught Nate and me how to properly plant and stake a tree.

The Northern Anemone (Anemone parviflora) is in flower this week in the rock garden.

The Red Admiral butterflies were enjoying a visit to Iron weed (Vernonia altissima), but were camera shy.

The Candy Lily (Pardancanda x norrisii) is in full bloom in the perennial border.
