Jamie Brown+FollowNative Wildflowers > Dandelions?!Turns out those dandelions in your yard aren’t even from here! Conservationist Kyle Lybarger says we should be planting native wildflowers like spring beauties and bluets instead—they’re way better for our local bees and pollinators. Bonus: native plants mean less yard work and lower water bills. Who knew swapping out your grass could help save the ecosystem? Would you ditch your lawn for wildflowers if it meant helping the planet (and your wallet)? #Home #NativePlants #Pollinators10Share
Adam Boyer+FollowMSU lawns now buzzing with lifeMichigan State University is transforming 30 acres of campus lawns into vibrant pollinator habitats, swapping out high-maintenance grass for native wildflowers and clover. This move isn’t just about pretty scenery—it’s a win for bees, butterflies, and the people who care for the grounds. Less mowing means less pollution and more time for staff, plus a big boost for local ecosystems. Students and staff are loving the change, and it’s a great example of how small shifts in landscaping can make a huge difference. What do you think—should more places ditch lawns for pollinator gardens? #Home #MSU #Pollinators00Share
