Blanco native plant garden and pocket meadow: Sheryl Smith-Rodgers and James Hearn 

In Blanco, Sheryl Smith-Rodgers and James Hearn scrapped most of the lawn for dynamic wildlife habitat with native plants and a pocket prairie. One rock and one garden at a time, they turned lifeless land into a Certified Backyard Habitat and Wildlife Habitat Demonstration site. In her blog, Window on a Texas Wildscape, Sheryl documents how she rescued valuable native plants, including many species of milkweed.
