Backyarding Personality Type: Kid Zone Creator

Summer is in full swing, which is prime time for the Kid Zone Creator – the type of backyarder whose middle name is fun!

TurfMutt’s Backyarding Personality Types help identify your unique outdoor style so you can design a space that fits your family’s lifestyle. If you’re looking to lure your kids away from screens and into the green this summer, this profile is tailor-made for you.

For the Kid Zone Creator, the outdoor living room is all about activity and imagination. Elements include:

• A large patch of turfgrass, perfect for sports practice, cornhole or pitching a tent for a backyard sleepout
• Trees aren’t just for shade, they are also great for zip lines, treehouses and swings.
• A small garden of produce plants create a living learning lab where you can teach kids about the origins of the food we eat (and maybe even get them excited about eating their veggies!).

Pro tip: before buying your plants or selecting sod for your yard, check out the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map to make sure your selections match your microclimate.
