The yard is approximately 1 acre of cleared land with the remaining acreage being woodland, bisected by a small stream. Within the cleared area there is a garden bed for vegetables, an herb garden, and various habitat gardens. The habitat gardens host a variety of native and some non-native plants, shrubs, and trees. Willows, pines, spruces, and birch are the primary trees in the cleared area, along with young elderberry, hazelnut, and plum trees (have not reached maturity to fruit). While sections of the yard are mown, roughly two thirds is left fallow with numerous native wildflowers and some non-native flowers. Dandelions, hawkweed, henbit, and other low growing, flowering plants are left to flower in the mown areas. Mowing is done only once or twice a month, some sections are mown less often.
