Design a Native Garden
Does your lawn have “squishy” spots? Areas where nothing grows? A native garden may be the solution. Plant a variety of native plant species or just a few. Then enjoy your beautiful, low-maintenance garden, knowing that you’re saving water, reducing air pollution and providing habitat for birds and butterflies.
