I can see our HOA going berserk.  :lol: [/quote]

HOAs need to get over it. Pesticide filled spans of non-native green lawns are awful for the environment.[/quote]

And it's best to have a cottage garden with natives. You can use pollinator-friendly annuals, like zinnias and marigolds, to fill in gaps. [/quote]

It isn't "best" for any reason, you are being sneaky, you are just stating a preference of yours.[/quote]

NP but why is it sneaky?  The conversation was the best and easiest way to start a cottage garden. Natives are designed to grow in the area: suitable to the soil, climate and supportive to local wildlife, including pollinators. Natives are naturally resistant to pests. And for me, best of all i don't need to water my native garden because they just need rainwater.

But you don't have to grow native. Many plsnts that are food sources are non-native. There's obviously more variety of you plant non- native.  As long as it's not invasive, you're OK. [/quote]
