The gardeners buy more plants
In a garden filled with plants, we can't help tweaking it towards our gardening style, which is natives and naturalistic.
So, we've been scooping up plants at the local nursery -- Arctostaphylus urva-ursi (Bearberry), Asclepia incarnata (Swamp milkweed), Lobelia cardinalis (Cardinal flower), Liatris spicata (Blazing star), Rudbeckia fulgida (Black-eyed Susan) etc. and others. Combined with transplanting natives from a neighbor who's glad to have us take a few (Canada mayapple, paper birch, lowbush blueberry, etc.), we're happy gardeners.
