For this activity I spent some time with my Dad over break. We decided that our front yard could use some new flowers. We went to Lowes where the garden center is very extensive and has many different kinds of plants. The flowers we chose were a selection of vinca. The workers there informed us that those flowers are usually safe from deer looking for a snack. Our house is in close proximity to a forest so we have deer come around often. We planted the vinca flowers in already set mulch with some added soil and fertilizer. The front yard gets watered with our sprinkler system so they would be well cared for. My Dad and I decided that this would be something we could continue doing together. Lowes has such a wide variety of plants, we already have plans for more additions to the yard. We have a garden dedicated to one of our dogs that passed away, so we will be planting some more flowers there during winter break.
