"When Donna Corbelli Castro moved to her home in South Florida 25 years ago,
her yard was “stark, barren, hot and devoid of any trees,” she says. The
typical way to tackle this would have been to do what many of her neighbors had
done: lay down a tidy, manicured lawn, perhaps with a couple of little bushes
or decorative plants.
But as a horticulturist, Castro had a different vision: a yard brimming with
native trees and shrubs. She promptly set about creating a “mini forest” in
front of her house. Today, there is virtually no lawn space in Castro’s yard.
Instead, it’s a gorgeous homegrown wildlife sanctuary that attracts and
nourishes a wide range of local pollinators."
