I want to do something similar to our front yard, which is currently mostly grass as well. Also some patches for butterflies and bees will be needed.
simple start is adding native clover and dandelion to the grass (and obviously not spraying herbicides or pesticides)
Sounds lovely, I'm sure folks here would be delighted to see progress pics as you're working on it!
