I've transformed most of my 1 acre yard from lawn to native plant gardens. Native plants support biodiversity!

I'm trying to get rid of my black thumb. I'm proud to say I've only killed 6 plants this year.

Every gardener kills a few plants in their time. Keep on keeping on! The beauty of natives is they have evolved to grow exactly where you are and will thrive with little to no care from you. They are a great confidence builder. Ask around your community garden shop for what works best in your specific area as sometimes the internet recommends something for outside your specific microclimate.
