Nancy Dudney - Bronze Louisiana Certified Habitat

Nancy's home was purchased in Spring 2023 and is in a traditional

subdivision with small lots of lawns as far as the eye can see! Her plants

have attracted a large number of monarchs, native bees, and other

insects, despite the subdivision having few trees and other lawns

being kept neat and tidy. Nancy has another residence in Knoxville, TN

and has pursued native landscaping there as well on a much larger lot.

Here in Lafayette, her front yard was designed by Jackie Carlisi. It’s doing

well and is still a work in progress. The small backyard is slowly

becoming a pocket prairie using plants from ANPP seedlings. She

encourages volunteers to emerge through the St. Augustine lawn.
