Stop One
We will visit here first and then go on to the next site. It is probably best for us to go as a group, carpooling. See carpool information below.
The property was purchased in 2007. It included the old farm house, which sat on 7 acres. The yearlong remodel came first, and then the B and B opened. Then the owner?began?to attend to the property, which was overrun with invasives. First, a major clearing was done using?heavy equipment. ?Then,?the owner contracted with Frank Porter for the beginning of the native landscaping. This was mainly prairie and a transition area which led into existing woodland. As with any garden, it took on a life of itself and has been the owner's?main, ongoing project for the last five years. There is now a bog, which takes all the drainage from an?aerobic septic system, turning a liability into an asset. The woodland is planted with spring ephemerals and supported by existing ferns and spice bushes. For more information and pictures, see the web site: Sandy ridge B & B?
This property is about 80 miles from Columbus so will?be a fun all-day event.
