“That’s part of the beauty of a more natural landscape.
It’s far more diverse and complex than a lawn, but also
less maintenance once established. In permaculture, for
example, each plant adds something that helps the whole
system function properly.”

Perhaps you too have been looking at your lawn and thinking "Couldn't we be doing something better with all of this space?"

This is all the more important as bats lose habitat and populations continue to suffer from white-nose syndrome. So this season, let the bats take care of the mosquitoes while you sleep and put the DEET back on the shelf!
