What began as a small monarch butterfly garden in 2019 has blossomed into a vibrant, ever-evolving wildlife haven. This homegrown habitat now features native plant beds throughout the property, supporting birds, pollinators, and other wildlife while reducing lawn space. Highlights include a front-yard pollinator bed, a rain garden that filters stormwater, a test lawn replacement with native sedges, and a pond-in-progress. There are beds in progress all around the property, as the homeowner continues to add natives and shrink the lawn, following nature’s cues. Brush piles in the back corner of the yard provide shelter as well as foraging opportunities for birds and other wildlife --memorable visitors include an Eastern towhee, Yellow-rumped warbler and even a great horned owl!

Discover how ecological landscaping with native plants can make your landscape more resilient and help address the climate crisis. This webinar will highlight practical, evidence-based approaches to designing and maintaining landscapes that build resilience to climate change and support native biodiversity. Join Wild Ones for a free webinar, “EcoBeneficial Landscape Strategies for the Climate Crisis,” featuring environmental horticulturalist and ecological landscape designer Kim Eierman.
