We’ve heard about locals who are ditching monoculture grass lawns (and the chemicals, lawnmowers and gasoline required to maintain them) in favor of native landscaping — and we want to know more.
If you have a pollinator-friendly lawn, backyard or garden full of native plants in Indianapolis or the surrounding suburbs that you’d like to show off, please snap a photo and share it with us by Tuesday, June 2.
The photos may be featured in an upcoming story about native landscaping, and we will only publish location details that reference which side of town or suburb you live in. Please share your name and contact information if you are be willing to be interviewed for the story or make a note if you would just like to highlight your garden.
You can submit photos here: https://spanner.imagn.com/ugc/49ZTxUhuEcWbZDrGWKUqV5Rck.
