Sure, colorful blooms were fun to look at, but my garden lacked substance. There was no reciprocal connection to nature, fostering not just plant life but all life. On a mission, I converted the clay soil covered by my lawn into nutrient rich humus using principles of composting, lasagna layering and Hugelkultur. Then over the past four years, with no HOA, I removed non-native plants and converted my entire front and both side yards into year-round native habitat gardens. With over eighty native flowers and bushes my gardens are a thriving interactive biodiverse ecosystem, a real home for bees, birds, butterflies, bugs and animals. Recently, I’ve infused a foodscape in and around the flowers. Now my native gardens provide a home for all nature, bounty for my family, and an educational venue for friends and neighbors that suburban native yards are attainable and beneficial to preserving wildlife.\nVagnoni Garden, May 2021 before bloomingPhoto by Libby Vagnoni\n\n
