Dreaming of a buzzing, bursting, and blooming pocket-wilderness right outside your window? Ready to invite butterflies, native bees, and twinkling summer fireflies to move into your neighborhood? Fall is secret weapon for planting and prep! In this practical, inspiration-packed session, we’ll break down the step-by-step process of ditching the turf and welcoming native life back to your property. What we’ll cover: The "Why" Behind the Wild: How small, intentional yards act as essential oases for local birds, pollinators, and the broader web of life Turf-Busting Tactics: Satisfying, low-stress methods for removing unwanted grass—from sheet mulching and smothering to direct removal. Planting vs. Winter Seeding: How to choose between tucking fall plugs into warm soil or letting Mother Nature handle cold-stratified winter seeding. Taming the Hell Strip: Turning those tricky, neglected sidewalk patches into vibrant wildlife corridors. Designing for Life: Selecting the right native flowers, grasses, and shrubs to attract pollinators, songbirds, and beneficial insects. Low-Maintenance Magic: How native plants save you time and money on water, fertilizer, and yard work once established. Say goodbye to the "green desert" and hello to a vibrant, eco-friendly yard that works with nature instead of against it. Join us and learn how to grow a space that’s tough on turf and tender on our pollinators! Stacia Skinner
