Welcome to the first edition of Care & Cultivate! Your monthly guide to timely tips, local nature highlights, and expert insights to help you care for your property in a way that supports a thriving urban ecosystem.
Your Yard. Your Home. Your World.
Your yard is more than just your personal space. It’s a thriving piece of a larger ecosystem that connects you to your neighborhood, your community, and the natural world. How we care for it matters, not just for beauty or comfort, but for the future we’re shaping together. Explore how Rainbow supports your world.
Nature's Corner
Native plants support local ecosystems by providing food for pollinators and habitat for wildlife. Adapted to our climate, they’re more resilient than non-native species. Make space in your yard for these 5 native perennials that attract pollinators:
• Echinacea (coneflower)
• Rudbeckia (black-eyed Susan)
• Liatris (blazing star)
• Monarda (bee balm)
• Aster
Expert Tips for May
✅ May is a great month to mulch your trees to help retain moisture through summer
✅ Patchy lawn? Might be the time to treat for grubs to protect from summer and fall damage
✅ Keep spring cleanup debris away from your house to keep moisture pests out
