"I really enjoyed the less lawn more life challenges but even more, I enjoyed walking by my overgrown patch of front yard and watching it change throughout the summer. Looking forward to watching it rewild in years to come."
"A most rewarding journey, watching nature’s quick response! Thank you so much for the opportunity and such a high quality program, with increasingly “stretching," yet still attainable, challenges in the second year!"
"I’m fully committed! I took out ALL of my backyard lawn and have added in only native plants. I planted clover in my front yard and it’s flourishing. I completed all 12 challenges and so many birds and insects are visiting."
"We started converting parts of our lawn to native gardens approximately 2 springs ago, and used the Less Lawn More Life challenge to continue learning, and to continue to improve our property for nature. Keep up the good work!"
"Thanks for putting the challenge together. I made it through all 12 steps. A few of the highlights were adding a button bush, adding 2 additional water features and used an app to help identify invasives for removal. I see more activity in my yard every time I go out."
"Thank you for all this! It really is encouraging. I participated in all 12 weeks and added more native plants at my house and family members'. My Wildr score went up! I was so proud 😊 It's great getting to do this work within a community of others."
