    native grasses are good for pollinators and the soil! But yeah, I mean my goal is to have some sort of pollinator garden as well, at least in a portion of the yard. I have zero gardening skills so i’m trying to temper my expectations. lol

      i’m not saying native grasses aren’t good, just that they don’t exactly need our help. Even in a meadow you’ll just passively get native grasses because that’s how grass does.
