Journeywork aims to replace lawn with native plants. Everywhere. One yard at a time.
|
Why? Native plants provide more habitat for wildlife. The roots of native flowers, shrubs, and trees capture more stormwater than turf grass. They take up more carbon dioxide and give us more oxygen. We don't need to use fossil fuels to mow and maintain native plants. And they are pretty.

Journeywork has enjoyed working with enthusiastic yard owners like Stacy who support our mission. As Stacy describes,

I have had the pleasure of working with Journeywork over this past year reclaiming my yard with natural, native plants in an area that had been overgrown and unattended. The entire communal experience has improved my attitude about community, expanded the beauty of my garden, and helped educate me in some of my planting decisions. I have enjoyed the whole process.
