HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Lot size is about 1.8 acres, of which approximately 3/4 acre is garden. The lot was formerly a farm field which I built on in 1993 and started landscaping/gardening. I have planted mostly native hardwood trees; oak, ash, hickory, maple, along with hardy decorative trees like purple beech, tricolor beech, river birch and rust/scab resistant crabapples. The gardens are almost wholly perennials now with very few annuals. I started with a primary interest in peonies of which there are 75 different varieties, and now have included 130+ daylily and 110+ hosta varieties all interspersed with various other hardy perennials of all types. Additionally there are several thousand daffodils of over 30 varities. I have progressed to where the garden has something blooming nonstop from spring through fall.
