In this new planting, native "Northwind" switchgrass screens a busy four-lane road, backed by native shrubs and trees. Although most of the plants are deciduous, the grasses screen in the winter; by the time they are cut back, the trees and shrubs have leafed out. Also shown here: viburnums, musclewood, witchhazel, "Rising Sun" redbud, and "High Shoals" E. red cedar. "Standing Ovation" little bluestem and purple coneflower are in the foreground. Three existing dwarf arborvitae can bee seen backing the planting.

Three small cascading basins slow and infiltrate rainwater from the adjacent house. Native plants were selected that are suited to periods of inundation and periodic drought.
