Here are some of my favorite New England Fall Folidage posts from the past : Concord Mass Fall Foliage Deerfield Mass Village & Homes Tour Vermont (Lots of posts) Nantucket Fall Trip Bedford Post Inn, New York We spent many days admiring them when we lived in New England – on our walks in Concord, Ma., driving to Deerfield, Ma., and (our favorite) trips to Vermont. We’ve had a love affair with Maple Trees for a while. We’ve enjoyed the wide open grass area for running and playing, but know that adding trees will add to the cozy factor of the yard and much needed shade. The next step for our grand plan was to add the two maple trees in the back yard to help add some shade and some relief to our too open backyard. We also added a stepping stone path from the front yard on the left (photos at the end of this house post, here). We’ve accomplished the hydrangea hedge on the left, the peonies on the right, replaced the back fence, planted the cherry tree, the rose garden to the left of the porch, and the hydrangea under the elm tree. Our plan has been to do things step by step, and to add more each year. While it does feel lush because of the flowering vines and overgrowth on the back fence, we really need some shade on our patio and the back of the house to help with efficiency. You can see that the backyard is fairly open. Here is a post about the design, inspiration and layout I shared in the spring. We’ve really enjoyed every step and have done everything ourselves (to this point) for plantings and design. This spring, as our home construction was nearing completion, I shared our plan for the landscaping and garden.
