Urban desert transformed. This little city backyard is home to 80 native plants, ranging from prairie to forest to wetland species, In the last 5 years, it has become a haven for wildlife! (see pics showing the animals we get.)

So this took five years? It’s absolutely stunning; I hope I get there too. Love all those animals.
Love the colors, and the critters!
Beautiful! I wish I had blended my plants more like this. I planted guilds of things together, but this looks so much more organic and natural.

What is your little pond made out of? It looks like a sturdy plastic pot!!
The varieties, colors, everything! It looks amazing 👏
It doesn’t get any better than that
Beautiful! The possums looking like they’re caught in the act is cracking me up. We get visits from them, too and they’re so ugly, they’re cute.
Looks lovely! How does everyone keep their plants so small? Using cultivars? Everything I plant grows huge and just looks awkward because they grow so tall haha
Wow a great blue heron?! Amazing! Jokes aside absolutely beautiful garden!
Goals!
THANK YOU. This work is critically important. Now, your neighbors will hopefully follow.
