Description

I dug out all the grass in my front yard a patch at a time over the last 25 years. Most of the plants are native to Minnesota. I have never used any fertilizers, weed killers or pesticides. There are several birdbaths and feeders tucked in among the plants. I don’t chop the plants down in the winter. They provide shelter from the cold wind. The birds eat the flower seeds and bunnies munch on the stalks. 🙂
