>Lawn naturalization has been recognized as a constitutional right for decades in Canada, but bylaws haven’t always caught up, and The Associated Press notes that many homeowners‘ associations still have rules about keeping yards manicured.
I had no idea that lawn naturalization has been recognised as a constitutional right. Interesting!
Now if drying one’s clothes outside can be granted the same I’d be very very happy!
Been trying to convert to clovers, or at least partially, still 70% grass. But for some reason the weeds came in wildly stronger than previous years. Must be all the rain. Frankly I gave up and mowed them last week haha.
Try again next year.
I just converted my small 225sqf front lawn to a natural garden. All native species and pollinators. Lots of watering required for the first two years, but I ended up buying an automated drip irrigation system for much less than I’d expected.
I will grant critics that some of these natural gardens are a bit too wild. Probably 1 in 4 of them in my neighbourhood feel overgrown. A humble appeal to fellow homeowners: natural is preferable to grass, but aesthetics and maintenance still matter!
As someone who loves hearing that I have the best lawn on my street, this summer has been very painful for me.
I hope that the fall will stay nice long enough for reseeding to take hold
i let my lawns go natural. i have lots of little flowers for bees, lots of birds come to eat bugs and so i get the bonus to see cool birds. theres even wild strawberries growing up in some spots.
We’ve been building a number of gardens with only native species of flowers and there is a huge swath of stuff like goldenrod and queen anne’s lace in the back half of our field. All of that is looking fine and healthy while any non native grass and imported perennial is barely clinging to life. The butterflies and hummingbirds appreciate it if nothing else.
