  • I really appreciate that! I made sure to make most of the things I planted look intentional, because my desire for wildness isn’t realistic in suburbia.

    So I labeled every species with sharpie on paint sticks and defined borders, in the hopes that the new owners don’t just tear it all out

    I did the math, though, and my gardens are roughly 1.8% of the lawn. Nowhere near large enough.

    I told my wife that it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to me that at least 20% of our next yard is native plants and (she doesn’t know this) a functional ecosystem.

    I read “Nature’s Best Hope” by Doug tallamy this semester and it gave me a glimmer of hope against my almost total conviction that things are beyond saving
