Anyone go all native?

6. My story

We have been slowly but surely doing just that to our spot. About four years ago we started in the backyard. We went to a local native plant nursery and they were so helpful. We live in CA so our plants aren't like yours, but I would say a native plant nursery is a very good start. Our backyard is beautiful now, needs little care and butterflies, humming birds and honey bees are abundant.

The front yard....we wanted a sweet green spot so our grand babies could have a safe and fun spot to play. We came up with clover. We found clover that does not bloom and is lush and beautiful. It looked beautiful before the moles came last Spring. We found strange vibrating things at Home Depot to pound into the lawn. They have kept the moles away so I am in the process of reseeding. It is lush green and natural, takes less water and you don't need to mow it as much.

The other things we have added for ruff spots are succulents and rosemary, they are thriving and need little water.

Hopes this helps!
