Every yard is unique. This yard is home to two first-time homeowners and their toddler. Abby and James have a general enthusiasm for pollinators, native plants, and the earth in general, but not a lot of garden know-how. They love their house, but ended up with a lot more yard than they imagined - nearly a half acre, most of which was turf grass.

On their own, they had set up a number of raised beds for vegetable gardens, but they felt overwhelmed when it came to deciding how to tackle adding more perennial beds (or even identifying which plants in their yards were weeds).
