We have tons of milkweed on our property and just let it spread.

On the local town newsletter, they’re always encouraging people to grow and plant milkweed. We simply won’t whack it down. That way it spreads on it’s own.

We’ve been working on getting rid of invasives and are starting to see an increase in native flowers - FINALLY!

Yes, I’m in to native wildflowers too. I don’t have a prairie part of my yard, but it would be neat to do if we had more acreage. I do encourage the wildlife and wildflowers around here though. I feel as though I should share the space with the birds, animals, and wildflowers (to a degree).
