Photo (probably AI) showing an overhead view of 2 fenced-in backyards with the title, "A tale of two backyards." The yard on the left shows white, paved patio & walkway, a perfectly maintained lawn and uniform shrubs trimmed into cubes. Text says, "Left: $4,200/year in lawn care. Mowed weekly. Sprayed monthly. Edged perfectly. Zero birds. Zero butterflies. Zero life." The one on the right shows a wooden deck with a small pond with bird feeders around it. About half of the yard is filled with wildflower gardens & a few untrimmed shrubs. The lawn is not uniform with a few brownish patches. The text says. "Right: $200/year. Mowed twice monthly. Native plants in the corners. Water dish on the patio. 47 species of insects. 12 species of birds. 3 species of butterflies. One rabbit family. Test at the bottom says, "Which is the better yard? Depends on whether you measure beauty in dollars or in heartbeats."

Reduce lawn acreage & let the remaining be a #FreedomLawn. #PlantMoreNatives & #StopPoisons to support birds & pollinators, to become more sustainable, to be more pet & kid-friendly, & to save $$.

#FreedomLawn The easiest, but most significant action you can take to have a more earth-friendly landscape is to stop all landscape-wide pesticide and fertilizer applications. It’s better for birds, pollinators, pets, & your kids. Read my article: greengardeningmatters.blogspot.com/2021/05/our-...
