My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Need historical garden info

19 years ago

I just bought a house built in 1855 and I'd like to restore the landscaping to that period. I've googled it but haven't come up with much. Does anyone know of a website that would list popular plants used in that time period?
