Why Native Lawns?
Lawns are such an incredibly major part of the United States. Lawns show up with houses, golf courses, pretty much anywhere and everywhere! However, the current way we create, manage, and take care of these lawns is devastating for the environment. Additionally, lawns in nature are artificial; they take up space and don’t allow anything new to grow. In essence, lawns take up space and require tons of resources to manage.
Native Lawns is a project to teach people about alternative methods of lawn care. These alternatives revolve around utilizing the natural environment to produce a lawn that no longer detracts but adds to the ecosystem.
