Amanda South is excited to share her native gardens with you. When her family moved into their home in the Fall of 2021, the yard was like all the other homes in the HOA. Inspired by Doug Talamy’s book, “Nature’s Best Hope,” Amanda and her husband have spent the last 2 years gradually converting grass into native gardens. Despite being relatively new to gardening, the yard is now full of birds, insects, snakes, and other life. Last year they were winners in the Green Towson Alliance Native Garden Contest.
In this small suburban yard you can find over eighty different types of native plants, including eight types of milkweed and many other host plants. Please come and have a look!
