#Lawns are tricky. Wholly unnatural, fields of grass. But often enveloped in societal (neighbors, family, etc.) expectations.

And planting “native” plants doesn’t always really mean native. Often, depending on the #ecosystem, quite the opposite - invasives.

This study was interesting. A wildflower “lawn” = increased #biodiversity ( #insects, #spiders, #bats) and reduced #fertilizer use.

Whatever we do, it’s time to think differently about lawns.
