About the Pennystone project
Pennystone, a private garden in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, investigates landscape applications of plants indigenous to the Pocono region of the northern Appalachians, as well as in combination with traditional introduced ornamentals.
The garden is not open to the general public, but this website is offered as a public service to gardening enthusiasts to encourage stewardship of the varied and complex ecosystems found in the northeastern counties of Pennsylvania.
The general merits of sustainable landscaping, value of native plants and wise resource management are widely discussed elsewhere. Our goal is to share useful and reasonably comprehensive information about native plants and environmental models for landscape applications for Carbon, Monroe, Pike and Wayne counties in Pennsylvania. Some of these materials may be helpful in adjacent areas.
We welcome questions and comments.
