Ooohhh this sounds lovely
Its been a labor of love over the last few years but we still have lots to go. Creeping Charlie is taking over lots of lawn and we just kind of let it for now. What I have found is that to get it done is a focus on a few weeks of concentrated effort a few times per year. Early spring when the ground is around 50 degrees you can go crazy with spreading clover and letting it grow and watering when needed and then again in the fall. Direct sowing native seeds in the late fall is easy because you shouldn't dig them in but rather just lay them on the soil. We have lots that haven't come up but also I keep seeing things I thought were dead and gone coming back. Just got to be open to see what comes up
Good tips!
