Midwest Water-Positive Design (Greenprints)

If you live in Illinois or the Midwest, this design offers a charming wildflower sanctuary to get away from the hustle and bustle. Discover the beauty of native Wild Strawberry, Wild Ginger, and Buttonbush, alongside other locally adapted plants that create a haven for pollinators. Once established, your yard will flourish with little maintenance, even during harsh weather conditions. Don't forget to add some seating - front yards, side yards, and back yards all can use a place to sit with a friend or neighbor and take it all in.
