MUC's first project was full-scale lawn replacement project earlier this year, focusing on native (and some non-native pollinator-friendly) plants. Pollinators are already enjoying the benefits from these flowers!

Finished replacing our back lawn with natives! Last step was the addition of 8 soapberry/russet buffaloberry (Shepherdia canadensis) plants, positioned to shade overexposed salal (Gaultheria shalon) in PM. (Deer have ignored soapberry on our back slope.) Pics today.

Vigilant doe rests amid wild strawberries (Fragaria vesca) in what used to be our back lawn, while her fawn stops browsing to watch me. "Deer Rest" sign π marks the year-round favorite napping spot, where little is allowed to grow.

Update #3. We've been hand-digging grass sod around wood strawberries and native shrubs planted last fall. This time of year if you can't help pulling a strawberry, you can replace it in soil, keep moist for a few days, and it will quickly reestablish. Lots of worms! #lawnreplacement π± #nativeplants
Update #2 on getting rid of our unhappy back lawn the worm-friendly way. Today I added 4 salal, 2 tall Oregon grape, and 2 red flowering currants. Second photo shows wood strawberries starting to dominate grass in some areas. π€
