The 2026 Less Lawn More Life Challenge is here! Join anytime between 

May 7th - July 24th.  Join HERE!

This summer the Bronxville Green Committee is encouraging our community to join the

LESS LAWN MORE LIFE Challenge! This national campaign through Plan it Wild, a landscape design firm based in Bedford, provides weekly emails with easy tips for healthy and beautiful landscaping. The movement was recently featured on the Today show – check it out HERE!

The challenge is now in its 9th week, but it’s never too late to join!

Sign up HERE – it’s free with zero commitment! Just learn as you go and implement the tips that work for your yard. The goal is progress – not perfection.

So far, experts in their field have encouraged us to:

Week 1: Take our Wildr Score—don’t stress; it’s fun & easy and a great starting point

Week 2: Start small when picking a spot to plant native plants

Week 3: Plant some natives

Week 4: Add a keystone plant

Week 5: Learn about & begin removing invasive plants

Week 6: Slow down & observe the natural world—we’ll discover amazing creatures!

Week 7: Say NO! to pesticides

Week 8: Keep water clean & close

What is the result?!

A healthy, thriving ecosystem in your yard! Watching birds, butterflies, and hummingbirds return to your yard isn't just joyful for you, it's a gift to your kids, your community, and the living ecosystem we all depend on.

If you are already participating in the challenge or have healthy yard tips from your own experiences, we’d love to hear from you. We welcome your unique story—pictures and videos too! As we continue our individual journeys toward a healthier yard, we can offer support and encouragement to our growing community—and have some fun too!
