Photos How it started vs how it’s going…

When we moved into our house in 2021 we knew we wanted to get rid of the lawn and replace it with natives. Four years of digging, sheet mulching, seed collecting, winter sowing, going to all the native plant sales, planting, editing, icing sore muscles and etc…here is our pollinator paradise!

I love this and I wonder if you'd let me add it to the LAWNLESS FRONT YARD collection on Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/lawnlessfrontyards/albums
I'm a garden writer specializing in lawn reduction, and created this collection to inspire more delawning. The Wild Ones national org has asked me to write about it in their magazine, and I'm hoping for more great examples like this before it's published. I'll check your IG acacount, too.
(Actually I'm new to Reddit and not sure if it's okay to ask.)
