I am removing a lot of grass. Even though I have the 4 acres I am trying to make garden rooms and less grass. So there are a lot of bushes to create the rooms.
There was a woman on GW that wrote a long article on how to plan gardens for your golden years. I am not getting any younger. She described the bushes and the perennials that are low maintenance for my golden years. The gardens she said should be mostly bushes.
You would love my area. We get snow but with this climate change we do not get much and it is only cold 3 months out of the year. Our winters are now in the 40s and 50s with a few days in the 30s and a couple inches of snow. Last year I had roses blooming for Thanksgiving and it was in the 70s.
