Mature white, post, and chinquapin oaks are the dominant tree species in this open woodland. Beneath these trees, mowed lawn has been killed and replanted with native upland shade-loving species like black Cohosh Cimicifuga racemosa, elm-leaved goldenrod Solidago ulmifolia, American bellflower Campanula americana, Ohio horsemint Blephilia hirsuta, and spreading aster Aster patens. During the first two years of establishment, these areas are weeded, mulched, and watered similarly to any other garden but by year three very little weeding and watering is needed.
