Property Green Features
Remarks: All our landscaping is 100% organic (we do not spray or use any chemicals, herbicides, insecticides). Property has a mature fruiting apple tree in our front yard (the one with the white bench beneath it and the tire swing). Last year in particular it was fruiting like mad, and we had to give away bags full of organic apples. Baked so much apple crumbles and apples cakes that fall! We also have planted thornless berry bushes (near the fence by the drive-way, on the right of the shed).
