Someone left this note on my door today that made me so happy. I love my yard and my neighbors have been nothing but supportive, but this also helps offset the snarky comments about it from my mom when she visits!
The following pictures are some of my blooms from this year and the last picture shows its current state.

Yay! Your garden is beautiful! It’s so good to get affirmation.
Stunning!
Absolutely stunning!
Beautiful
I’m a huge fan of random compliments. I try to tell one stranger a compliment per month. Made new friends that way
Did a bee write this? 😆🐝 But seriously, awesome work!
Awesome! I would also write you this note. It’s beautiful.
Sick gaillardias 🤙 they’re some of my favorites too
I spend a lot of time outside running or walking, and I love walking by houses that have gone no lawn or minimum lawn and tell the owners how much I love their house. Or asking the handyman to please tell the owner I love their house
This would put a smile on my face too. Beautiful 😍😍
Add me to the “I would also write this note” club. This is beautiful 🤩
It’s so beautiful! Nice of them to leave you a note
What kindness!
We painted our front door yellow (grey sided house) and so many people walking by share how nice it looks. Then some comment on the garden rain we’re building and talk about how nice that is. What lovely people.
Others comment on how unkept the front yard looks.
i live in Austin and we have some seriously beautiful native gardens around here!! i randomly pull over and take pictures constantly lol. I’ve probably photographed your garden too 😂
Love your yard! I have a good number of the same flowers in mine. Central Texas?
Both of you totally rule!
A blanket of blanketflowers!
Beautiful!!!
That horsemint is phenomenal. Brb going to go buy one
HOA says moan the lawn or it’ll be a fine of $75/day
Everyone else says it’s a beautiful yard
Awwww. Thanks for sharing the sweetness, that made me smile. Your flowers are gorgeous. Aspirational stuff there.
I’m super impressed by this! I wish I could get anything to grow like that! I have four raised beds I put flowers in that I’m hoping take off like that! This is my inspo!
This is wholesome ❤️
I love this and it brings me joy too!
Beautiful! Any downsides to let it grow like that? Do you have to take care of the flowers?
Beautiful! Why do people choose grass instead of this? Makes no sense.
Magnificent! Love seeing all the bugs and butterflies.
I love
That stranger is right now! You have such a unique and beautiful yard
That’s very nice. I don’t live in the greatest neighborhood. However, when I’m gardening in the front yard, people honk or yell from their car nice things. This never happens when I’m doing literally anything else outside. Neighborhood car horns or yelling is generally not a kind thing here. Gardens bring joy to many people. Well done you.
Doesn’t it make your day when you have made someone happy!
beautiful yard! i’m from tx and lived in austin for a long time, i loved the diversity of charming houses and landscapes there. i’m in portland oregon now and needing to start from scratch on a barren front yard. does anyone have any recs for doing a native plant/wildflower situation like this in portland’s climate?
What a beautiful garden – no wonder they left you a lovely note ❤️🧡💚💛
NOW THATS A YARD🌱🌸💐🌺🌻🌼🐝🦋
Holy cow! So when are you teaching a master class on nomow?

Wow it’s beautiful. Do you get many bugs inside?
