All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

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

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.
