Well, you did it!

You’ve made it to Week 9, the final roundup of our 9-week journey to transform your yard into a thriving, wildlife-friendly paradise. At this point, your garden is practically a VIP lounge for pollinators, birds, and all sorts of critters. 🦋🐦🐝

Last week in Week 8, we put the finishing touches on our 5 Key Activities:

1️⃣ Choosing Native Plants 🌾

2️⃣ Rethinking the Lawn 🚜

3️⃣ Building Wildlife-Friendly Features 🏕️

4️⃣ Planning for Sustainability 💧

5️⃣ Composting ♻️

If you kept up with the whole series — CONGRATULATIONS!

You’re officially a garden trailblazer. And if life got in the way, no worries! You can revisit Week 8 Checklist. The great thing about gardening is there’s always time to grow.

Now, before you ride off into the sunset, I’ve got one last surprise: a BONUS CHECKLIST coming next week!

Think of it as a victory lap to make sure your garden is ready for long-term and success.
