Join us for a tour of a beautifully curated city garden that has been thoughtfully transitioned to native plants over the past seven years. Spanning roughly 4,000 square feet, this garden is now home to 60–70% native plants, with every corner shaped by a deep respect for wildlife, design, and sustainable choices.

Inspired by a desire to support local ecosystems, the homeowner has created a vibrant space filled with milkweed, bee balm, cup plant, wild ginger, and even native prickly pear cactus. There’s also a small vegetable patch, container gardens, a rain garden, a small pond and a water bowl.

Sourced from local native plant sales, nurseries, and seed swaps, this garden is a hands-on labor of love—and a great example of how an urban yard can support biodiversity while looking beautiful.

Come explore, get inspired, and gather ideas for your own native garden transformation!
