In one backyard, a growing gift

Posted On June 26, 2011

When Chris Yost moved into her east Charlotte home four years ago, she downsized in most every way. Her square footage was smaller. Her mortgage, too. Pretty much everything, she says, but the yard behind the house.

It’s just under a half-acre back there, with a mix of natural growth and grass. Chris initially wasn’t excited about having to mow all of that land every week, so she worked weekends until she had a better grass-to-natural ratio.
