Starting An Outdoor Classroom Garden Courtyard In Appalachia

22 years ago

I've undertaken the task to turn a architectural defect into an outdoor classroom/garden using native heritage plants from Appalachia. I come across one problem. It is that common names are plentiful for the same species. I've laid out the site now I need plants to start filling in the holes. Anyone with plants, seeds, or advice or just a word of encouragement is welcome to reply.

I'm a senior and love gardening. Our school has an outdoor classroom I've been working on for awhile now. I have that problem too with the common names. I'm not sure what to tell you though. Sorry. But if you are looking for any particular plant native to TN just write me. I have access to alot. Thanks!
