LAWN GONE NATIVE GUIDE

WHERE DO I START?

So now you're excited about planting! But how do you begin? There's plenty of research out there but it can be a daunting task to search through all that botany jargon.

 

Ultimately, the plant species you decide on and their arrangement will depend on your yard's environmental conditions and what you want to get out of your new garden.

Read on to see how you can grow native without getting lost in the weeds.

An important note:

The following guide focuses on plants from the eastern mid-Atlantic region of the US (specifically, Pennsylvania), but the concepts can be applied anywhere!

Make sure you have...

internet access, a printer, a notebook, and the enthusiasm for learning!
