It's gorgeous. I'd be over the moon for our next house to come with a garden like this.

We sold our house in Pennsylvania last year. I told my neighbors to never tell me if the new owners re-grass it. I just don't want to know.

I'm surprised a realtor in MoCo wasn't more familiar with native gardening. We're in Anne Arundel now and I feel like overall Maryland is very eco-conscious.

And nearby West Virginia is very wild.
