Weatherwood Farm Visit: Revitalizing our Ecological Heritage
Purchased in 2014, David Hughes’ woodland area, once over browsed by deer and overrun by invasive plants, is now a thriving forest-floor community of native plants. The monoculture of lawns has been replaced with warm-season grass meadows, native wildflowers and forest communities. Vernal pools and rain gardens have been created to add a thriving wetland community.
Join Edge of the Woods Nursery for a private tour of this inspirational property and listen to Hughes give inspired information on healing our degraded landscape, reflecting on rich communities of native plants and the creatures that call it home.
