In 2024 I started converting a 6' by 40' strip of lawn to a native plant meadow and adding native shrubs to the front and back of the property, which is an older suburban (now urban) neighborhood with some old growth trees supporting a decent wildlife population. The meadow is anchored with tall forbs and interspersed with native grasses like Virginia Wild Rye and Little Bluestem.
