The Muhammads take the saying “Grow Food, Not Lawns” very seriously. In just a year and a half, they have transformed their yard into a sustainable and edible landscape. Complete with raised vegetable beds, a fruit hedge, fruit trees and more, they’ve done much to grow food for their family at home. But they didn’t stop there. They landscape with native plants to feed bees, bird, and butterflies too! Their rain gardens, rain barrels, and impressive drain system manage flooding on their property and conserve precious, clean rainwater to water their new plants.
Kyla and Rasheed’s yard is recognized as a environmentally-friendly property by The Conservation Foundation’s Conservation@Home program. Learn more at https://www.theconservationfoundation.org/conservation-home/

Wonderful!! 😍
😲 beautifully shown and articulated.
Smart land stewards! Love your garden and your ethics <3 !
This is great. I'm inspired to do something with my yard!
I love what you have done with your land!! Not only does it look beautiful, but can also utilize it. What a very unique concept. Who the heck was crazy enough to give you a thumbs down??!!
WOW!!!! Great job and thank you.
And that video just showed a portion of Kyla's genius! She has medicinal plants, fibrous plants, and more that basically ensure her household is prepared for most emergencies. I love what Kyla and Rasheed have created.
Well done Muhammads, this is an excellent example of what a yard can become! It's beautiful, sustaining and shared with pollinators.
