I’m a huge fern guy! This was in the mountains on upstate SC, on the edge of NC. I have a thing where every time I travel to the mountains, I bring back a fern or five. I have collected so many different types of ferns from around the Southeast in my yard it is so much fun. The diversity that it has created in my yard is so amazing! Highly recommend packing a few Trader Joe’s paper bags and a shovel or hand trowel to everyone.
On Sunday morning, when I am staying in the mountains for the weekend, I’ll go away before we leave and walk through the woods and dig up a few plants and load them up. That way they don’t get too dried out. Then when I get home, get them out and get them in the ground. On the drive back home, I’m figuring out in my head where to plant time. Its a blast and a free way to stock up your shady spots in the yard with some of my favorite plants. Ferns rock!
