✨ The secret? "Cues to care", mowed edges, structured layering, intentional design. When your yard looks beautiful AND supports life, neighbors start asking questions. That's how we build connected corridors.

I don't like lawns but I do love this. We put in a bee-friendly no-mow lawn at our new house. It's a blend of tall grasses that swoop over, short grasses that block weeds, and clover for the bees. It also infiltrates water like a sponge. #ecologicaldesign #gardening #landscaping #permaculture
