Find a Master Gardener to include more perennial and native plants in my yard #925730

Asked March 09, 2026, 6:14 PM EDT

I am interested in meeting with a Master Gardener at my home in Plymouth to get suggestion on incorporating more native plants and perennials. I have a polinator garden in the front yard; I am hoping to do more and to serve as a model for the neighborhood. I get lots of positive comments but I want to be a model and show that this can both look great and serve nature. I want to reduce the grass space in my yard. Thanks if you can connect me with someone.
