That area behind the dam is going to be outstanding !! I hope you are going to have some open areas for the flowers.
I hope you're right, Ewest. If we can contain the deer buffet and get most of the shrubs to take, it might really be a wildlife magnet in 4 or 5 years.

This pic is a repeat from the previous thread page, but it depicts the exact subject zone.
The shot was taken from near the top of the dam, looking down to the open area near the woods that will be planted with the shrubs. The area will receive sun and shade during the spring/summer, but I selected the shrub species knowing that they were partial-shade tolerant.
To your expectations, Ewest, the balance of the area and the entire dam will remain open and planted with native grasses and forbes.
