After almost three years in the ongoing process of developing a garden, Katie Doan and Brian Abercrombie are beginning to get a sense of where their garden is going.  Holding their intention to grow native plants and provide habitat for birds and pollinators, they have been removing the lawn (smothered with cardboard and mulch) and defining beds with a variety of found materials.  Focus plants include an heirloom apple, walnut trees, berry-producing shrubs, as well as perennials and evergreens.  Katie adds, “In addition to the visual delight of the wildlife, there is also a growing collection of ‘eye candy’ for humans, garden objects that amuse and delight, like the crazy paving walkway.  We enjoy gardening and the rewards of feasting on some of the fruits of our labor.”
