I'm in NE Missouri & live in a very rural area. I've got grandiose ideas about what I want my yard to look like. My wife of 25 years & I are extremely hard workers & don't hesitate to get dirty.
We live on 150 acres. Mostly white oak timber, with 40 acres of open ground that we garden for wildlife. What I need knowledge & inspiration for, is our 3 acre yard. We've got a nearly blank slate to work with. I just don't know a lot about different plants & what they like. We do like natives & have brought some of the natives off out farm into the yard, with plans to do more transplanting this fall & next spring. Our landscape style is rustic, to almost ruins like. We like rusty metal & stone.
I really hope we can find inspiration & knowledge here. Here's a few pics of the slate we're working with & a couple of projects we've started.
