Slow-Mow Summer
Support bees and other pollinators, and reduce the need for frequent watering and mowing by diversifying the vegetation in your yard. Plant a native plant garden or bee lawn, build natural nests for pollinators or consider using a low-input turf species like fine fescue. Learn more at edenprairie.org/NativeLandscaping.
