On Wednesday, November 25 we installed christmas fern (Polystichum acrostichoides) in the bed behind the Rector's office. See some before and after photos below. The 1st photo is the before photo, the bed planted in english ivy (Hedera helix). The second photo shows the plants installed but before mulching. The orange cord that is visible is the church's internet cable that we found buried about 2 inches below the surface. It was subsequently re-buried for future landscapers to deal with. The 3rd photo shows the finished installation, mulched with pine bark mini-nuggets. We hope our stand of ferns will look as good as the mature stand pictured in "Carolyns's Shade Gardens" above.

Looks good! It'll be a big improvement! Corinne B.
