Description:
A kit home built in 1950, this property was the site of a former Interurban transporting passengers into Dayton. Purchased by in 2014, the home needed a complete renovation before it was habitable. Once that was completed in 2021, the owners moved to the “Wright House.” A few months after moving in, the sewer line failed and the lawn (an old maple and grass) were removed. She had recently trained as a Greene County Master Gardener Volunteer and wanted to learn and experience native plantings. The old yard was replaced by seeds and small plantings and now is fondly called “chaos.” He took other portions of the property that were completely covered with honeysuckle and wintercreeper and created a shade garden now filled with hosta, heuchera, astilbe and other plantings. While this is not entirely a native yard, it has come a long way. We would love to hear your impression of what's been accomplished and what else could happen on this piece of land in Fairborn.
