Earth Tones Delivery

The big day has arrived! A pick-up truck bursting with perennials dropped off the above load from Earth Tones in Woodbury. We now have most of the plants purchased with the Iroquois grant (a few hundred dollars was reserved for filling in any holes).

Here's Foamflower, an attractive shade plant.

And here are some Woodland Phlox in bloom. Native to Connecticut, although I don't think I've ever seen it in the wild. Deer are known to love phlox, so perhaps that's why.

Yesterday I repaired some of the fallen rock work on either side of the steps on the left side of the hill, giving more places to plant, and scraped off the end of the sidewalk, which was covered in a creeping non-native sedum.
