Dayna's Landscaping

Every spring, the junipers growing along the edge of the sidewalk around the Stuhr building get pruned.  This small hedge serves as a barrier for any visitors who would choose to walk the edge and possibly fall off.  I usually trim various branches with a a pair of hand pruners to form a natural look.  One year, they were invaded with bagworms.  I hand picked all of them, then later replaced four shrubs.  

The bridge leads up to the main building at Stuhr Museum.  Petunias are consistent blooming annuals that take the heat, wind, and hail.  They come in a variety of colors which makes the landscape more interesting year after year.  Roses were planted at one time, but failed.   A newly planted bridge with mugo pines, feather reed grasses and Red and White Wave petunias.  This was planted before I worked at Stuhr Museum.  Looks good! Carpet roses were planted here some time before 2014. This is 2015, and I replaced some winter killed roses as a quick fix for the Stuhr Building Grand opening. I planted Red Velour Tidal Wave petunias in 2017 to replace red carpet roses. Violet Wave petunias planted in 2018 Tidal Wave Silver petunias planted in 2019 Tidal Wave Cherry petunias planted in 2020.  Notice how large the mugo pines have grown.

 The following photos show a hard pruning of Bridal Wreath Spirea.  They were overgrown with a lot of dead limbs.  The pruning was done in early summer, 2016, after spring blooming.  They were probably never pruned, and are quite old.
