Healing Gardens

In the sense of gardens, a decorative area is usually made up of flowering plants that are pleasing to look at. For the Longhouse garden, the decorative areas must be beautiful using native plants.

Working in decorative areas during the Fall was not particularly fun because it is not beautiful or pleasing to look at during this time. For this reason, we spent a lot of our time thinking of plants to add to the area. We also did some grooming and general clean-up of the areas. Although they are not necessarily pleasing to look at, they are less of an eye-sore.

However, as the definition of decorative is:  Suited to decorate or embellish; adorning, we have high hopes for the areas.
