I am entering 2 photos of my yard, an organically maintained landscape in (omitted), RI.  I grew up in Lancaster, PA, surrounded by Amish farms, so I always use a lot of manure!

 

I designed and then dug these gardens by shovel. A lot of peat moss and manure gave them a healthy start. The lawn is maintained organically as well, using corn gluten to retard weeds and make it thick and green. White clover in the lawn provides beauty, attracts wildlife, and enriches the soil by fixing nitrogen. Birds, butterflies and hummingbirds and rabbits are frequent visitors.
