What is Backyarding?

Backyarding isn’t just about lawns. It’s about living in your yard. From hosting friends and family to working remotely, your yard is more than outdoor space — it’s your personal retreat, classroom, gym, celebration venue, and even your pet’s favorite hangout.

At the TurfMutt Foundation, we call it “backyarding” — and it’s at the heart of what we do.

To learn more about the many benefits of the green space around us, check out the TurfMutt Foundation’s International Backyarding Fact Book.
