Love this so much, and thank you for your offer to get folks started. I ripped out about 900sqft of my South Florida backyard lawn in April and broadcast seeds for a wildflower lawn. I have a species list, but we like just identifying things as they come up. Birds love our house. Monoculture sucks

Why native plants?
According to the The National Audubon Society:
Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

@Casualsythe @Saxifraga LOVE THIS! I’m in FL as well and doing similar to you. Trying to keep the HOA at bay about it.
