Embrace the Turf Takeover

Posted on | Local Native Gardens

Wild Ones is on a mission to reclaim turf for native plants. If you’ve switched up your lawn for natives, we’d like to hear how it’s going. Share your photos and your thoughts with us so we can tally up the transition and spread the word about support for wildlife habitats. See here how one Wild Ones member has tackled the challenge in his Niskayuna front yard. Share your photos with us at [email protected]

This Niskayuna homeowner transformed about 500 square feet of yard from turf to a native plant focused environment. More native plants are coming soon.
