All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

I'm in love with your plans and goals! Something that's resisted a lot of wear from our dog's circuits has been wild violets, and we're seeing more clovers volunteering in those patches alongside them.
It sounds like just the right amount of ambition to me, I'm hopeful you'll see great results and will share them with us here!
I've been trying to get wild violets in my yard for the last few years. I got some seeds two years ago that didn't sprout very well. I did plant some bareroot pink violets which I hope come back and start spreading. They are common wild violets in my neighborhood and I keep hoping they volunteer in the yard since we don't put any herbicides anywhere.
We've had good experiences transplanting them during the early part of the growing season, maybe someone nearby would let you take a clump or three to get you started. They can spread pretty prolifically from a start like that. I haven't noticed them spreading seed very far, but their roots will spread them out readily.
I will try this spring to transplant some. There are tons along the weedy sections that people don't care about. I will try to get some in my yard. I know the seeds of violets don't spread that far so transplants is a good option.
