The Bartoo's have a small yard (.25 acre) in a suburban neighborhood. They finalized the step-wise converting of lawn to native gardens about 1.5 years ago by having Habitat Landscapes design and overhaul the shady parts of their yard. The rest has been a slow progression, from renovating a veggie/raised garden, to replacing much of the front lawn with natives. An ongoing labor of love meant to be walked and sat-in and to host all the critters who’d like to visit or stay.
As a bonus, they have an HOA approved native garden prominently placed near the ‘hood pool to serve as an ambassador to planting native!
