Our garden started with one bed in 2007 and has progressed to a point that the our entire property is a garden. The plants in the yard show the progression from a Waterwise focused landscape to one focused on Biodiversity with native plants.  This change still incorporates the Waterwise principals but makes our ecology in north Texas a priority.

Blackland Prairie plants thrive in our clay soil and extreme temperatures.  From the deep freezes of the winter to the scorching heat of the summer.  They are okay with the torrential downpours and the droughts. All of this requiring minimal effort from us.  Not only do native plants require less maintenance they also bring in local critters.  From microscopic organisms to apex predators.

We derive great joy from the garden and hope you do too.  We encourage people to feel welcome to wander our front yard garden and return as often as they like.

With each visit the garden changes.  As different plants come into bloom we get new colors, shapes and textures. We see new creatures stopping by, changing form or coming out of or disappearing into their hiding places.  Not only do we hope you enjoy hearing about the garden, we hope it will inspire you to look for ways to incorporate nature into your environment.
