Taking Inventory & Native Plant ID

Throughout the property there are 4 different seed mixes that were used to establish, stabalize, and feed the wild. As the land transforms I wanted to take some time to reconcile the plant listings in our seed mixes with what we are seeing. In year three of the plantings, there have been many new spottings, and some invasive non-native plantings that have now crept in- in my mind, a good time to observe and take inventory.
