Serviceberry guild advice


Hi all! I’m in Zone 6b, ecoregion 83 living in Rochester, NY. I’m hoping to expand my existing no mow situation to this patch (pictured) and start a fruit tree guild. The front of our house is pretty much our only sunny patch, so I’ve love to get some edibles in there.

This is my first guild and would appreciate any insights, especially for this relatively compact patch that will definitely be in view of neighbors and passersby.

I’m thinking serviceberry, coneflower, bee balm, rhubarb, strawberries, and thyme. I’d love to attract more birds (lots of goldfinches and robins on our block) and pollinators. I’m curious about currants or blueberries, but don’t want to overwhelm the space. That said, I love a layered look. I’m also looking into a natural looking bird bath, but recognize I’ll need to plant some herbaceous plants to create more privacy.

I’d appreciate any advice or things to keep in mind.
