Moist / Sun Garden Plan 7’x9’

 

A 7’ x 9’ garden for a moist and sunny area of your property, perhaps lakeside, streamside, or wet sunny low-lying area. A mix of purples, gold, yellow, pinks, and purple...they grow together in nature so they go together in your garden. Also, a series of blooms for tons of pollinators.

NOTE: Every site is different. We encourage you to adapt this plan to your own site. If you have a specific condition, we can help connect you to resources. There is a native plant for almost all conditions! Remember, it’s a learning process. Plants are kind of like people, you need to get to know them to understand what they need to be happy!
