Peaceful Valley Lawn and Landscape

Kirt and I have retired from Lawn Care! We sold our business to D&Y Contracting LLC. They are wonderful folks who have run a family owned and operated business since 2014. Trust them - we do!

Blessings of the season! -

Blessings of the season! "I had the epiphany that laughter was light, and light was laughter, and that this was the secret of the universe."  — Donna Tartt, The Goldfinch

I'm going to try this - sounds peaceful and lovely.

Have you ever considered adding a moon garden to your yard? Some of our night pollinators would be delighted 🐝🦇 . When we think of pollinators, we think of species flying during the day. However, a smaller group actually conducts their magic during the evening hours. We can encourage these night pollinators by planting a moon garden. To do so, plant native scented and night-blossoming flowers and plants and include flowers or plants in pale hues of yellow, blue, purple, green, pink, white or cream, along with plants with silver or gray foliage.

How often do we visit our garden at night? What pollinators visit our garden during these dark hours? Imagine a moon lit landscape in your yard without the need to flood it with lots of artificial light.

To find out which specific plants and flowers are most likely to thrive where you live, visit the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map: https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/. Then enjoy choosing vegetation to make your home garden a source of food and fun for night pollinators.
