Evergreens carry my yard through all the seasons.

Evergreens are the bones of my garden – the structure that carries the garden through seasons of spring flowers, summer butterflies, autumn leaves and winter cold.

I love our evergreen trees and shrubs because they are chosen for purpose and beauty. Some are native, others are not.

In addition to trees and shrubs that benefit songbirds, the yard features feeders and nesting boxes that invite them to live with us.
