Boone County Master Gardener's

We have contacted the Boone County Master Gardener's to help with the landscape at the cemetery.  We need to preserve the Yucca, Lillies and Peony in the planned landscaping, they are going to have to be moved as they are impacting the stones;  these families did not foresee their plantings toppling their loved ones markers.  All three of these plants mentioned are not native to Indiana, neither is the state flower Peony; but in doing research even in the 1800' non native plants were already being used in garden and cemetery settings in central Indiana.  Just like a pioneer would bring items with them that reminded them of home, they also wanted plants that were familiar to them in this new untamed wilderness.  It is our need to settle and civilize an area that changes it and mold it to it's new inhabitants.
