Scenes From Our Natural Yard
Our property is surrounded by a metropolitan area of more than 300,000 people, but our backyard feels a world away.
​Birds abound, we are likely to see deer visiting our ponds, but we can't see our neighbors thanks to the greenery.
How is it possible to create such a refuge--for people and for birds and wildlife-- in such a populous area?
Stop mowing, replace invasive grass with natural vegetation, and add a water feature...or two.
That's what we did; here are some photos that show the results.
