Hi! I’ve recently purchased a home with lots of lawn. I’d like to turn most of it into native plants/shrubs/flowers/grasses in a cottage garden style, using perennials as much as possible. I’m wondering if you know of any landscaping plans of suggested plants? I know things will differ based on spacing, water, orientation, etc, but I’ve seen some useful examples for southern areas (where I moved from), but not here. Thank you!

If you do a search for “Native plant New York” or “Native plants for Zone 5” You should find lists of plant options like THIS. This should give you a good starting point to formulate a plan.
