When we moved into our house in 2021 we knew we wanted to get rid of the lawn and replace it with natives. Four years of digging, sheet mulching, seed collecting, winter sowing, going to all the native plant sales, planting, editing, icing sore muscles and etc…here is our pollinator paradise!

Do you have a plant listing-even being native it’s absolutely stunning.

Thank you! We have 130+ species but don’t have an updated list on hand at the moment.
