Rye Garden Club’s Sarah Barringer helps pollinators by replacing her lawn with native plants!
Three years ago Ms. Barringer replaced the lawn in front of her house with native plants. The lawn used to extend from the street to the stone wall. She planted tiny plugs of native plants and began to see many, many “great bugs!” Her pictures show Joe Pye Weed and New York Iron Weed this past july. Among the many pollinator friendly natives in her yard are also Great Cone flowers and Cardinal flowers. She is an inspiration!
