SEED MIX: The Friendly Lawn: A Lawn Enrichment
Sun to part sun + average soils
fall sowing required
 
We like the idea of making your lawn do more than just look green. This mix is designed to supplement an existing lawn, keeping its function while making it more welcoming to pollinators and wildlife. Lawns certainly have their place, but with a little help they can also support biodiversity. Inspired by research at Cornell University on native lawn alternatives, we’ve developed our own blend to bring those benefits right to your yard.
