Choose your own adventure:
There are many different ways you can transform your yard into a more sustainable, biodiverse and pollinator-friendly space. Whether you choose to plant native species, grow some food or a bit of both, the choice is yours.
Start Small:
Transforming your entire yard can be daunting and there can be a steep learning curve when it comes to understanding how to ensure native plants and your garden thrive. So consider starting small, especially if you are doing it yourself. For example, plant a few native plants or cut out a small area of sod to make a food garden. Then in future years keep slowly transitioning until you have the sustainable yard that makes you – and the biodiverse life you will attract – happy!
Ask for help:
Whether it be talking to someone locally who offers native plants, contacting one of the businesses li
sted below, checking out the information provided by one of the GoBeyondTheLawn partners, or just talking to a neighbour, there are many people who have successfully transformed their yards.
