A Wildlife Habitat in Riverwoods

Rattlesnake Master, Eryngium yuccifolium (lower right) looks like some sort of cactus but is common to the prairies of Illinois. Mountain mint, Pycnanthemum virginianum (lower left) is not really a mint and does not grow in the mountains, but is extremely fragrant.

Naturally, this garden was certified by the Conservation Foundation as an earth-friendly place.

The drainage swale running across the front of the property was also appropriately designed and planted.

Toby keeps an eye out for friendly wildlife (friendly to him). WOOF!

The deck in the backyard is cool and peaceful. White Baneberry "Doll's Eyes", Actaea pachypoda (lower center), has an insignificant looking flower but a magnificent seed head.

A woodland remnant encircles the backyard. A golf course lies beyond the trees.
