"Nothing defines sense of place like the native plants that grow there. We live in an age where place almost means nothing, because in a homogenous consumer culture every place looks the same - just as ugly and bland as the rest. Killing the lawn allows us to restore that sense of place to where we live, but more importantly it allows us to grow the plants that once formed the living skin of the land that we live on, and it allows us to develop a bond and connection with the living world around us, as human beings have done for hundreds of thousands of years."
True that–deeply so. And also shows us the fauna that fed on and pollinated such plants. Living on forgotten margins of our suburban wastelands, they come back and seize any chance such as a rewilded lawn. If only we let nature do its thing.
