SUNNY RESIDENTIAL
A Skokie Home
 |
Previous to our work here, this home was in the shadows of darkness. A large Spruce filled up the entire front yard into the sidewalk and large shrubs cloaked the house. We removed the shrubs and tree, replaced part of the lawn and planted a bright and colorful Wildflower Garden in its place. Seen here is the garden in the Spring of its second year. |

Seen here are the buttercup yellow flowers of Sand Coreopsis, Coreopsis lanceolata, the white tube-like flowers of Foxglove Beardtongue, Penstemon digitalis and a lonely Pale Purple Coneflower, Echinacea pallida. Prairie wildflowers, those that grow in the full sun, flower later than woodland wildflowers. |

It is summertime now and everything looks different. The yellows abound! See the row of assorted shrubs we planted along the shady north side of the building. |

Doesn't this look better than rows of Yews that surround the front of most homes in the Chicago area? |
