Description:
When the property owners purchased their 2-acre property in 2018, he dreamt of having the best lawn in the neighborhood, and for three years, he worked towards that goal. Then he stumbled upon the book Nature's Best Hope which changed his life, and the journey began to turn their 2 acre monoculture into a vibrant habitat to support and regenerate biodiversity. Since 2021, the property owners have sowed more than 30K sqft of native grasses, sedges, and wildflowers, planted approximately 125 native trees and shrubs, removed all invasives from their property, and do not mow under or around any tree. As a bonus, he has removed 3 acres of honeysuckle across the street in a more than 200-year-old oak-hickory savannah and removed his neighbor's honeysuckle and recently sowed it with native wildflowers. they have multiple projects in progress and are excited to show you things they have learned, what has failed, what has worked, and what is planned when they return from a two-year stint overseas.
