THE ECO-WISE WAY

The smell of grass, the trill of chirping birds, the coolness of a tree’s shade, the scrunch of earth underfoot . . . your outdoor space is a natural wonder. How you care for it matters to it—and the world outside your fence. Learn how to help your yard thrive and go truly, vibrantly green.

Everything outside is connected—from the treetops to the soil, and all the plants in between. Treat your yard like an ecosystem, and it will flourish. This home’s meadow was designed by Refugia, a Philadelphia-based firm that specializes in creating eco-conscious landscapes with native plants.
