2.5 years ago I decided it was silly that my whole property was grass. Not a single tree, shrub, or flower (minus our vegetable garden).
I started small and chaos sowed some natives one fall without much hope anything would come of it. I literally just ordered some native seeds amd through them out there. I was surprised with what grew that next spring! Then this year, the patch came back with vigor!
I've since started to spread natives to the rest of my yard and while thats a work in progress, I know its doable (because I've watched it happen with this particular small patch)!
It still has a lot of work, but I'm proud of this, and just wanted to share with others who will appreciate it!

Wow! Some amazing pics in there
Just start ❤️
Wow beautiful. What are the white flowers? I’ve got the purple coneflowers and coreopsis but haven’t seen those white ones before. So pretty!
i tried to make part of my front lawn native nj flowers, but deer mowed it down
Yes to this!! I sulked all last summer because I wanted to start but we’re renters and don’t own our yard. This spring I finally just started a bunch of things in containers on our deck that I can hopefully transport when we can afford to buy a house. It’s not much but I have seen lots of native bees and other pollinators, including hummingbirds! 🥹

Your garden looks a lot like mine right now!
My favorite part of my evening is checking on my flowers
Gah!! I love it. I’m so jealous and can’t wait until I have mine ☺️
What are 8 & 9?
Any idea what little bug is on the white flowers? Also, is that blue mist flower in there? I have a lot of that. Spreads but is lovely for the bugs. 😊
Goooorrrrgeous!!@
