I got pollinator seed packs from the Tennessee Environmental Council a while back, they seem to be doing the trick now.
I need to figure out how to trim them effectively, to keep them from toppling over, but aside from that I think this is a great first year!
Looks nice! I've got a whole stretch where I want to pull up the sod and plant wildflowers for real. Right now it's just really tall grass, and I spread some wildflower seed in there but only got a smattering of plants.
And the front yard:
It's not mangy, its exuberant! Give it time, it may grow on you. (pun not intended...honest)
Why native plants?
According to the The National Audubon Society:
Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.
