Knowing I have a beautiful garden makes me feel good even when I am not home to see it. I know the birds are out there enjoying my space. I know the bees and butterflies have a place to be. My pond needs some work next year. That is the joy of a "wild" garden. It looks okay all the time, but there is always something to do. I could still plant bulbs and have spring flowers. Next year I want to work on having more wild flowers. It is a never ending project and that is what I love about it.
You are lucky to have a big space to work with. It means you can do more and have more choices. It may take longer, but that is the fun part. Every winter I plan for spring. It makes the months of snow seem more temporary. You could do different things in different areas of your property. Native plants are such a good choice aren't they. They do so much better with so little care. They are suited to the climate you have put them in. You should post some pictures so we can see what you are doing. I would be interested in knowing. I love gardening/landscaping.
