Listed here are just a few extra pictures from the backyard tour day or the day after.
A storyboard with a QR code sits beneath the bushes close to the patio off the kitchen, surrounded by hostas (Hosta cvs., Zones 3–9), pink impatiens (Impatiens walleriana, annual), begonias, deer fern (Struthiopteris spicant, Zones 5–8), Japanese aralia (Fatsia japonica, Zones 7–10), and Japanese andromeda (Pieris japonica, Zones 5–8). Peace poles and hanging baskets add extra coloration all through the shady planting.

Zonal geraniums (Pelargonium × hortorum, annual) body the arbor and pathway resulting in the woodland and butterfly backyard areas.

Pink and purple coneflowers (Echinacea purpurea, Zones 3–8) mingle with crocosmia (Crocosmia cvs., Zones 5–9) and Seaside Serenade Hearth Island bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Hortfire’, Zones 4–9) within the background.
