A woodland wildflower garden.

This turnaround was converted into a 100% native garden . It wouldn't grow grass and was a problem area.
It was planted with native shrubs and wildflowers that can handle the dense shade and dry conditions.
Shade-loving flowering trees, shrubs and woodland wildflowers were chosen that provide an assortment of textures through unique foliage and flowers.  These native plants are hardy and tolerant of most soil conditions.
