bee friendly lawn installers #879932

Asked August 02, 2024, 2:56 PM EDT

Hello, I live in Minneapolis and have a standard-sized yard. I have native prairie plants on my boulevard and many native plants throughout the yard. I want to convert a part of my remaining lawn to bee friendly turf and would like help from a garden company to do that. I saw a list of services on some website at the U, but cannot find it again. Also, Thank you so much for what you do. I think the Extension program is excellent. ( I have two daughters and one works for Green Lands, Blue Waters).
