Converting portions of lawn to native plants or meadows can be a tremendous benefit for local water quality. They require less water, improve habitat for wildlife and pollinators, air quality, and most importantly takes less of your time to maintain-giving you more time to kic-back and enjoy the outdoors. Consider adding native plants that are known to withstand drought, heat and drier soil conditions. The less water your lawn needs, the less likely chemicals from your lawn care will make its way to waterbodies. Some plants to consider include:
-
Little bluestem
-
Purple love grass
-
Switch grass
-
Gray birch
-
Common juniper
-
Sweet Pepperbush
-
