We’re excited to share the nationwide Less Lawn More Life Challenge, a free 12 week program helping people transform outdoor spaces into thriving habitat one step at a time.

Whether you’ve got a backyard, balcony, food forest, pollinator patch, or just a small corner of earth to bring to life, this challenge offers simple weekly steps focused on native plants, pollinator habitat, water conservation, soil health, reducing chemical use, and more.

The challenge kicked off May 7 with a free virtual keynote from Robin Wall Kimmerer, botanist, author, and one of the leading voices in the native plant movement.

This program aligns beautifully with what we care about here at The Farm Connection. More native plants. More habitat. More biodiversity. More life.

Even small changes matter. A patch of milkweed. A pocket meadow. One less section of lawn and one more space supporting pollinators and wildlife.

The challenge is completely free and you can join anytime.

This week’s blog explores how to build a more resilient landscape for unpredictable seasons, from drought to downpour.

We’re discussing deep-rooted natives, living soil, layered food systems, pollinator habitat, creating shade, and why diverse plantings are one of the most powerful tools gardeners have. Learn how native plants help stabilize soil, support wildlife, improve water infiltration, and create landscapes that grow stronger over time.

This is about stewardship, adaptation, and planting systems that can better support people, soil, and wildlife through uncertain seasons.

Learn how to rethink the modern lawn, use living groundcovers to cool and protect soil, and create resilient gardens in everything from large homesteads to raised beds and containers.

Maples are one of those trees we keep coming back to

Shade. Wildlife habitat. Fall color. Long term beauty. Even syrup, if you’ve got the patience for it.

Large canopy trees do so much more than fill space in the landscape. They cool homes and gardens, support birds and pollinators, protect soil, create future habitat, and become part of the land for generations to come.

This Memorial Day weekend, all trees and shrubs are 20% off in store only through Monday, and our maple selection this year is beautiful.

Here are a few of the maples currently in stock:

October Glory Red Maple (Acer rubrum ‘October Glory’)
A favorite for dependable late season red fall color and a strong shade canopy. Adaptable and vigorous once established.

Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum)
The classic syrup maple with incredible orange and gold fall color. A long lived native tree that becomes more beautiful with age.

Autumn Blaze Maple (Acer × freemanii ‘Autumn Blaze’)
Fast growing with brilliant fiery color in fall. Excellent for quicker shade and large landscapes.

Silver Maple (Acer saccharinum)
A tough native maple known for rapid growth and shimmering silver backed leaves. Great for wetter soils and larger spaces.

Red Maple (Acer rubrum)
One of our favorite native trees for supporting wildlife while bringing beautiful seasonal color to the landscape. Early spring blooms also support pollinators when little else is flowering.

Come plant something that will outlive you in the best possible way

This weekend is a great time to plant. Our Memorial Day Sale is happening now with 20% off all trees and shrubs through Monday.

Come explore fruit trees, berries, native shrubs, nut trees, shade providors, pollinator plants, and more while the nursery is fully stocked. Whether you’re planting on acreage or building abundance in a smaller backyard, food forests can fit almost any space.

We also just shared a new blog this week all about building a backyard food forest without overthinking it. Learn about layering plants, choosing trees, adding pollinator support, building healthier soil, and creating long-term harvests for both people and wildlife.

A backyard food forest can start with a single fruit tree.

One apple tree with herbs underneath. A peach tree beside the garden. Blueberries along the fence line. Pollinator flowers tucked in around the edges. Over time, those layers grow into something beautiful, productive, and alive.
