The at Ellis South features a and landscape that has been thriving without any supplemental irrigation. These plants were all installed last summer and include a variety of native and adapted shrubs & perennials such as Western Serviceberry, Hot Wings Tatarian Maple, coneflower, yarrow, and salvia. It’s looking more beautiful and inviting every day!

Our apple trees are covered in tiny fruits starting to form! We also have pear and peach trees in our orchard, and we’re hoping for a bountiful season!
