We'll show you ways you can still have functional lawn space and convert areas back to native plants that pollinators and small wildlife can utilize. We'll touch on how creating wild spaces in your lawn can actually mean less yard work! We'll also cover rain gardens, native plants and commonly used landscape plants that are actually taking over local forests. |
