Yeah as with everything the idea more nuanced then it’s slogan, “NoLawns!”. I appreciate the NoLawns sentiment and simplicity of the slogan (for lack of a better word). I can see that maybe “Less Lawns, More Native Plants” isn’t quite as catchy. :P

Yeah it’s definitely a process. I’ve been trying to expand all the places I have natives and plant more. Also I keep expanding our garden. But I’ve 1.5acres that was “lawn” when I started, so still lots of mowing for now.

First those nasturtiums are beautiful!!

I’d would be curious how others feel, but for me #nolawns is a long term goal or process and a part of that process is actually mowing.

I tried stopping mowing and I loved all the different flowers and grasses that grew. But we were quickly over run by a rat sized vole that loved the habitat. Then I also noticed I wasn’t keeping up with topping or pulling all the different plants that I didn’t want propagating (thistles and other invasives).

Anyway I think having lawn is on my path to nolawn. I can onnly take on so much space at a time, so I just keep converting areas to no lawn areas and I continue to mow the rest.
