This captivating front yard was chosen to showcase the lovely results the owner achieved when he decided to turn his yard into a wildlife destination garden. This required replacing his entire front lawn, formerly all grass, with a lovely perennial garden. The resulting landscape reduces water consumption and chemical use, while supporting biodiversity (Think butterflies, bees, hummingbirds and so much more).
This yard is now a Certified Wildlife Habitat and a good example of the beauty that can be achieved when replacing a lawn.
About The Yard of the Month
Yard of the Month is not a one-person committee. If you are reading this: Tag, you’re on this committee too! We want to honor and encourage our neighbors who are beautifying our community with their efforts.
All club members are requested to notice interesting front yards and to nominate them for Yard of the Month. Look for yards that are unique in some way and primarily owner-designed and maintained. If you see a garden that fits this description, please send the info. to Christine Pritts.
