I love flowering trees, shrubs, woodland plants, medicinal plants, herbs, and flowers that multiply and are beautiful and easy to care for. We have three and one-half acres to design and plant. We have lived in the same house since 1965, and we have huge oak trees as the backbone of the property. There's a small bluff and a creek that is dry unless we get a very big rain. It leads to a state park and there's a 50 ft. drop off just before it gets to the park, so water runs by very fast when it rains. I have around 50 varieties of trees on the property, and something is in bloom most of the year in my Zone 7 property.
