Gene,
Could you share more details with us? What native shrubs, in particular,
How arranged/grouped, and where are the ferns in relation to them? Where
are you buying the shrubs? I am a native shrub nut and am always looking
for a few more. I also have a similar situation at the new place, with
very tall evergreens all in a row along the west side of the lot and lawn
running right up to the evergreens.
BTW, Our little native shrub border at the old place, in part shade, has
some less than successful individuals in it. Several that we are really
delighted with are snowberry, black chokeberry, winterberry holly, and
ninebark. Also Carolina spicebush. I highly recommend all of these to Gene
or anyone else thinking of native shrubs and would love to hear more
recommendations in return.
