Back Yard Before & After Garden Native Garden Small (Under 1,000 sq ft.)

1 of 4: This yard is directly adjacent to a large plot of undeveloped land. Both the yard and the land are infested with star thistle (pictured), cheat grass, and tumble weeds (aka Russian thistle).

2 of 4: Tumble weeds and the garbage pile. This is how it looked before I started work.
