Grass lawns started off as a way for pretentious rich people to flaunt how much of their land they could waste on nothing important, so it’s really not worse at all. Just another dumb trend that caught on.
I planted mint in my yard for this exact reason. I hate grass lawns. However local flowers are probably better for local pollinator and bird populations, so I might add those too.
please do! native flora are super important, especially since large monocultures of a useless crop (grass) have become popular. if your yard is gonna be filled with plants that you aren’t using, you might as well fill it with plants that are useful to the environment
I don’t understand why people act like having a lawn of mint is worse than grass. Seems like it requires less maintenance.
More shade for flees and tics
