Lawns were a mistake
Lawns are a passion hate of mine. I bought a house and land package that has lawn front and back and it’s the most useless waste of land. I’d rather the house be further forward with a bigger shed in the back yard but instead there a plant that require constant cutting/watering. My ex was the one who wanted to keep it and now that she’s gone I’ll look at landscaping the yard to rocks and native flora.
As a space behind your house where kids can run about and play, that is safer and nicer to look at than a concrete or bare-earth yard, then I totally support it, particularly if you’re in a climate where they don’t need much help. As a big pointless expanse to look at and not use for anything, or in parts of the world where keeping the lawn requires massive effort and expense and continual watering, it’s a huge waste. And if you’re going to have a lawn, at least put some flowerbeds around with pollinator-friendly plants.
My garden has a lawn, because I have a toddler. It also has deep borders stuffed with plants, and at this time of year you can’t go half a minute without seeing a bee or a butterfly or something. Also, in this part of the world I don’t have to do much to keep it looking good, besides mowing it and chucking a bit of seed on the occasional worn spot.
You: “Touch Grass”
You, later: “Not like that”
That’s some sad looking gras
Should plant something more wild and ecological anyways 😔
This is Spezs fault somehow
