Stuff in My Truck - 005

​I got so busy during the last couple of months I couldn’t post about Stuff in My Truck.  I’m trying to catch up a little now with a bunch of images of a yard I planted with natives in October 2015.
 
The first image is a load of grasses, shrubs and flowers destined for a cool project I did.  These plants represent some of the most incredible natives in the region.  I had everything from Bee Balm to Blonde Ambition, Spicebush and Hibiscus in my truck. The hibiscus had blooms about to pop, so I drove pretty slow to the yard to not damage them in transit.

Once I got the plants to the yard, we installed them in a front and backyard (see below).

The front yard bed is packed full of natives including the ones a mentioned above as well as White Blazing Star and native grasses like Red October and PA Grass.

We also had two rain gardens in the backyard.  We had installed a new patio and beds around it. The following images are a bunch of different views of the beds.

​We repurposed an existing fence to make a gate and fence that hugged the line of the new patio (see photo below).  We used sustainably forested wood for the horizontal and angled supports for the gate.  I love repurposing materials.  They always have a quality that new materials just can’t give a project.  The posts for the fence and gate are topped with a solar powered cap.
