Started working on this area underneath a tree last spring. Common blue violet, eastern columbine and wild geranium make up the groundcover.
I planted Virginia spiderwort too, but the cottontails feasted on them 🐇
And an update on my violet post from last year. They’re filling in this area nicely under the elderberry:
do you have to contend with deer nibbling on your plant buddies?
I’m in the burbs so not many deer here…
the urb I’m in also rarely has deer about, which is a plus for gardening without fences!
