I converted 1000 sf of our front yard into a garden with 90% native plants. It's probably the most revolutionary act I've ever done. People stop all the time and tell me they've rerouted their walks so they can see it. The president of our HOA told me it's his favorite yard in the neighborhood. Lots of work at first and lots of fun for years to come!
