When we arrived to this 178 acre farm in Free Union, the invasive species and overgrazing had depleted the soil of all nutrients. There was very little native wildlife. After remediating the soil, installing division fences, waterer systems, and bush hogging the field, the wildlife is starting to come back, and native plants and grasses are rooting. No more weed trees and autumn olives everywhere. This, is a happy field for happy livestock.

Blending a modern sensibility with traditional architecture, this garden features a front yard meadow with native grasses (Carex praecracilis) and wildflowers. Poured-in-place concrete pavers in a meandering pattern slow the approach from the sidewalk to the entry. The modestly-sized backyard has been maximized for entertaining with outdoor dining and lounging areas and subtle landscape lighting. Native plants, herbs, and edibles share the back garden beds, and a raised pond brings the garden to life. Photo by Martin Cox Photography.

A large steel and willow-roof pergola creates a shady space to dine in and chaise lounges and chairs bask in the surrounding shade.
