Agreed, grass just really doesn't look appealing. I want wild flowers and bees!

Installing a bunch of lil raised garden beds and just sprinkling them with a bunch of packs of wild flowers last year was the best thing I ever did... wish I had started years ago! New flowers kept popping up into November (!!!) and the bees and humming birds loved it! Expanding on this this year for sure. 🐝🐦😎🐝🦜

I'm going to start, my city by law says I have to have 70% living "green"material so I'm going to see how fast I can bend the rules

I did some in my garden last year and it got devoured. I think we have a family of moles and they seemed to love that more than anything else
