I was inspired to post this because I ran across a picture of my original lawn (first pic, ofc) and felt like I needed to show my pre-conversion, first year, and current pics.
Denver, CO. I have some non-natives and still need to clear out some of my invasives and this is obviously a work in progress still, but it's very pretty and very, very bustling with life.

What a beautiful oasis you’ve built
Beautiful!!
Well, you have succeeded in giving your garden a sense of place! I was able to guess Colorado from your plant choices. Nicely done!
This is amazing!
this is beautiful! i love the warm glow of your lights, too— do you know what brand they are? that’s the exact vibe i was looking for with mine 🫶
This is absolutely spectacular! Hard to believe it’s the same yard! I am dying to know what it will look like in a few more years.
Your inspiration is lovely and contagious!
Very excellent work, friend. I’m sure the bugs and critters are very happy there and it looks like a wonderful spot to spend your time nurturing it and taking it all in. I am proud of you.
stunning
Incredible!!!
So cool!
The transformation is incredible. You’ve made a typical boring American backyard into something special and be proud of your hard work.
You did it – looks fucking great
This looks like a fun space! What a great transformation, the plants definitely exploded in two years. The cactus (prickly pear?) seems very happy too!
What are some of your favorite natives? What are you looking to add?
Thats quite the transformation. Great job!
