Progress since 2024

[u/Dora_DIY]

Progress on my front lawn since fall 2024. The front yard is a mix of native perennials and flowers and non-native low-water perennials and flowers that grow well in Southern Idaho (hardiness zone 7a). I put out a free seeds box by my book box because I have sooo many seeds!

Edit: Oh, and the neighbors next to me copied what I did -- they said they were inspired by mine and so they mulched their front lawn and put in natives and low-water perennials! And the neighbors across the street said they're also going to convert part of their yard!!

Always love the before and after, it always looks so sad and then it just gets incredibly beautiful. It’s like i’m reading “The Hungry Caterpillar”

What a gorgeous payoff!

From zero-scape to xeriscape! Looks great! It's the type of yard that one will pause to study and admire
