We moved to this south Minneapolis neighborhood nearly 3 years ago, where the landscaping was overrun with exotic invasives like creeping bellflower, crown vetch and other non-native plantings. We replaced the entire front yard, boulevard ("hellstrip"), and both side yards. I've created a layered yard of natives, and the little turf that remains will be replaced with wildlife habitat. Trees: two bur oaks, a serviceberry, an ironwood, and a hackberry. Shrubs: black chokeberries, wild black currants, snowberries, New Jersey tea, American cranberries, Downy arrowwood viburnums, Gro-low sumacs, American hazelnut, prairie willow. Groundcovers: common blue violets, wild ginger, wild strawberry, Canada violets. Grasses: Prairie dropseed, Indian grass, little bluestem, penn sedge, palm sedge. Perennial flowers: prairie smoke, prairie alumroot, purple coneflowers, yellow coneflowers, Rattlesnake master, wild geraniums, Sweet Joe-Pye weed, wild petunias, common milkweed, butterfly weed, swamp milkweed, poke milkweed, whorled milkweed, false blue indigo, prairie dock, New England asters, Smooth blue asters, Heart-leaved asters, Big-leafed asters, zig-zag goldenrod,
