Started working on this area underneath a tree last spring. Common blue violet, eastern columbine and wild geranium make up the groundcover.

I planted Virginia spiderwort too, but the cottontails feasted on them 🐇

And an update on my violet post from last year. They're filling in this area nicely under the elderberry:

I like that killing your lawn involves imbuing life back into it. I suppose lawns count as undead.

(Seriously though, nice work! Making me wish violets were native here… but I can’t complain because the groundcover in my garden is being overtaken with beautiful white clover)
