Swanton sits where the Missisquoi slows and spreads into marsh and delta before it reaches the lake, and the village green keeps its swans all through the warm months. Shumway's Landscaping & Nursery tends the lawns around all of it, mowing on a steady round, trimming, edging, raking out what winter leaves and what October drops. Flat river ground and lake wind make for lawns that grow hard and dry fast, so timing the cut is half the job. Something about an edge run straight along a walk just reads as care, and a yard that still looks sharp on day six says the same. By late fall the silver maples let go all at once and the work turns to clearing.
