This spring, I wasn't sure how many of the plants would even come back - the bed was bare. But then the magic happened - with a few very rare exceptions every single thing we had planted slowly came back to boisterous life.

Last year we removed the non-native plants from a bed in the center of our lawn and significantly expanded the bed. With the help of the nice people at https://ladyfernfarm.com we created a butterfly garden, planted with pollinator-friendly New England natives.

The new garden had a lot to contend with - especially deer and rabbits. Even at the height of the summer it was a bit ... thin. /1
