Converting front lawn to wild life garden

Hi @EricL and @MitchellMc Hope you are keeping well. I am after some ideas and suggestions. Looking to transform the front lawn to a wild life garden. Wondering on ideas of how to start and how to go about it. I have enclosed photos of the left and right sections of the front lawn.

 

All suggestions greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

Partha

Turning lawns into a native garden

This project is now 18 months old.

 

The Silver Princess has transformed from a small plant to something north of 1.8 meters in height and growing.

 

The prickly moses ( Acacia Verlata) bushes are growing well and created a hedge which the small birds love.

 

The row of alpine rares are thriving much better than expectations.

 

The warm weather has created a dandelion explosion on the remnant lawn so trying a few bunnings feed and weed products to bring it under control. Acacia Verlata HedgeAcacia Verlata HedgeSilver Princess GrowingSilver Princess GrowingAlpine RaresAlpine Rares
