Our little pocket prairie in the front parking lot at the nursery is about three years old. We have been maintaining it with just a machete, roughly once every three months. By selectively targeting undesirables, this allows for the native plants to do their own w**d suppression by growing over and out-competing the rest. It’s pure magic in the mornings. 🌞 ✨
