Fruit trees dot the landscape, and there are even pawpaw trees to give special fruit on cool fall days. And on hot summer days a truly magnificent walnut tree provides cooling shade as well as all the walnuts you could want. There are multiple frost-proof hydrants and power outlets conveniently placed around the grounds as well.
