I’ve transformed most of my 1 acre yard from lawn to native plant gardens. Native plants support biodiversity!

    I am one, from Sweden. This is only the second year I’ve had a garden and it’s a slow process with the natives, but I already saw a difference from last year. However I also plant some food stuff (herbs, leafy veggies, tomatoes) in raised beds. We have old apple and cherry trees. Some bushes and the hedge are not native, but most of those were planted ca 1945 so I won’t be touching them.

    I do definitely and aggressively remove any invasives like lupines.
