Description:
Moving in 2016 to a small suburban property with a chemically manicured landscape featuring lots of grass and invasive ornamentals, the property owner began creating beds of native plants in the poor soil left behind by the construction of the neighborhood. Today, there are flourishing native garden beds along with raised edible garden beds (featuring native and nonnative plants). While it is currently a primarily sunny landscape, many trees and shrubs have been added to allow for more shady areas in the future. Her goal is to eliminate the Kentucky Blue Grass lawn and create a habitat that is enticing both to wildlife and neighbors. She views her garden as an extension of her home and a place to relax and enjoy nature. This corner lot features a pocket prairie, a rain garden, and pollinator beds in addition to the edible garden.

Accessibility: Some unlevel areas may be difficult to navigate in a wheelchair without assistance though much of the yard is visible from the street.
