Any native plant enthusiasts out there?
I've transformed most of my 1 acre yard from lawn to native plant gardens. Native plants support biodiversity!

We've been working with a landscaper that specializes in native and edible plants. We've removed a lot of highly invasive plants that were previously growing out of control (although it's a constant fight to keep them away) and replaced them with fruit trees and native flowers.
We've also been trying to replace the grass in our yard with clover
That's awesome! Every year I have to do a sweep for invasives. It gets easier but they always try to creep back in.
I think clover can be a good addition when a property is severely lacking in flowering plants, but would encourage you to broaden even further. Where we are, Viola spp., Prunella vulgaris, and Fragaria virginiana are also used to help fill in the green space for our pup to play fetch in while providing forage for our local pollinators.
