I have several of those!

Of course you do, Mama Shelbi provides 🙌

i’d be wary of mosquitoes though but i’m sure you know to change the water daily (if it ever stays there long)

…sorry?

@@Shelbizleee the vocal fry, your videos would be even better if you cut that out

I have no idea how I would change my voice lol what

@@Shelbizleee It’s just about ending your sentences on a higher pitch so that it doesn’t sound like you’re growling. Obviously you can feel free to ignore my feedback, I’m just one person, but I promise you people will like your videos more if you do that. Again, I love your yard. Nothing but love

It’s interesting how men and women both speak with vocal fry, but seemingly only women ever get criticized for it 🤔 and anyway hers is so incredibly subtle that I’m amazed somebody felt bothered and entitled enough to ask a person they don’t know to change the way they speak

What part of officially certified do you not understand? Perhaps you need to return to elementary school? Relearn grammar while you’re at it.

it's a wildlife habitat because she purposely planted native plants for pollinators. she puts it in A LOT of work--anything but lazy. she didn't just let it overgrow and throw up a sign. she killed the grass and planted all native species to help wildlife in her area thrive. that's what certified wildlife habitat means.

Is this a troll comment, or are you just ignorant‽

The irony that I have put far far more work into this than anyone with grass ever did 😭 if you leave your yard as the developer made it there’s much less work I assure you (at least in the first couple years)

the suburbs should be nature-friendly too! but it could totally just be bc finding housing is so hard.

I live here bc I want to live in a city where I have access to things I care about and people that share my values. I can do what I want with my property regardless of the silly thoughtless opinions of people. I thrive where minds need to be changed so it’s not a problem but a challenge for me anyway. It’s also where the work needs to be done, if I moved to nature (where I didn’t have the access I want) the work wouldn’t be as needed. It’s also not unwelcome by the majority, just the older folks who don’t think through their opinions or actions 🤷‍♀️ also jobs are in the city, I serve my local gov I mean the list goes on and on. It’s not my problem that people have opinions - it’s their problem that they chose to live in an HOA free neighborhood

Sometimes the best places to make impactful changes are in the worst areas. And worst is of course subjective to the topic at hand. In this case, suburbs and cities being one of the worst offending with manicured lawns. Or that's at least how I try to view things when dealing with the constant slog of trying to make impactful changes in the city. And there's also other factors such as living in or near a city can be more sustainable in terms of car use, community, and shopping local/supporting small businesses. It's never just one thing.

I'm in South Philly. Where are you? I'd love to do something like this but I don't have a yard; I have a patch of concrete. I'd have to rip it up before planting anything.

We don’t have sidewalks so 🙃

DO IT 👹

@@Shelbizleee I AM 😈 (also I live in Turkiye so I'm planting our native plants and now we have a hive of honey bees that naturally came and settled on our roof 😂 we must be doing such a good job)

That’s nature 🤗 but you can also do this in a “manicured” way. I just don’t see the value in that

National Wildlife Federation

It’s my chicken coop haha

@@Shelbizleee well dangit LOL!! But also 👀 chicken coop tour? LOL

OMG I love it 😭❤️
