Maybe in your climate you have a natural rain-forest garden with all the tropicals
country living makes it a bit easier to do the natural thing My lawn is more weeds than grass. The weeds feed many things , rabbits and butterflies
My former pasture is becoming a prairie restoration area , hard to keep my husband from mowing the whole thing .I did let him mow a path around the edge so he can keep the fence up.
WE let the lower bottom along the creek go wild some 20 years ago and it has been interesting to see the transformation .
Many wild creatures live there , beaver , deer , opossum, raccoons,skunks, great horned owls we had a fox family this year
It doesn't make up for the hundreds of acres of corn and beans all around us , but every little bit helps
