I removed all the debris of dead plants in a perennial bed, lantana and trimmed bushes and butterflies so that they, too, are growing well.

To add extra interest to our page, “evergreen” we planted two trees of Eastern red cedar name amongst the hawthorns bed India, which blooms in the spring and berries in the fall. The name is a smaller version of the original great Eastern red cedar, standing strong and solidly through the storm and gave the artist a place to nest and shelter from predators.
