Linda says: “I began my native plant journey in the summer of 2020. My sons were concerned that our cat had killed a bird. It was decided that the birds needed more places to find food besides the bird feeder. Our first project was a 2000 square foot piece of the front yard where nothing grew well. That area was seeded in the winter and the following spring we began ripping up 30 years of pachysandra. We researched plants and opened more ground along fence lines and around the patio. Over the spring and summer of 2021 we planted five large gardens and in the fall planted with plugs another 2000 square feet in the front yard. We have taken out the rest of the hosta plants this year and are continuing to plant more native plants.”
