this may be soapboxy, but this is a subject i feel strongly about
if you haven't already watched Doug Tallamy's talk "Nature's Best Hope", it is a fantastic watch. he has done it many times, for many different associations. you may have to skip some of their long intros.
he also started Homegrown National Park, which is a project to get people excited about replacing some of their grass with native plants, and also reducing the number of invasive plants. if you've watched "Nature's Best Hope", this will make sense
if you're planning on planting anything, please visit https://www.nwf.org/Garden-for-Wildlife/About/Native-Plants/... and try to pick keystone plants. you can find keystone plants by ecoregion there. of course, there are plants that support a small group of specialist bees, and they need love too.
