Well now, if you’ve made it to Week 8, you’re practically a certified Backyard Wrangler.

You’re roping in native plants, taming the wild lawn, and turning your garden into the hottest spot in town for birds, bees, and butterflies. 🐦🐝🦋

Last week in Week 7, we kept up the hard work with our 5 Key Activities:

1️⃣ Choosing Native Plants 🌾

2️⃣ Rethinking the Lawn 🚜

3️⃣ Building Wildlife-Friendly Features 🏕️

4️⃣ Planning for Sustainability 💧

5️⃣ Composting ♻️

If life threw you off your horse last week, no worries. Dust yourself off and catch up on Week 7 whenever you can. Even the best cowhands take a break now and then.

Now, saddle up for Week 8, where we’ll be putting the finishing touches on your wildlife-friendly garden before the big spring bloom!

That squirrel who’s been keeping an eye on your progress? He’s nodding in approval. 🐿️👍
