What was once “bleak and miserable” was turned into a green-thumb oasis with some paint, weed pulling, and pressure washing. Just add loads of potted plants, and it’s a whole new world.
“It’s nowhere near finished yet, but I’m so happy with the progress so far and how much wildlife is already here, where it was just bare before,” the OP wrote.
The Redditor was also quick to point out that gardening isn’t easy, but the trial and error has been ultimately rewarding.
Turning negative space and monoculture lawns into native havens comes with many benefits.

Ironically, we depend on pollinators for a massive amount of our food supply.
