#native lawn

[just-your-average-cryptid]

it really feels so strange looking at like plain fields of grass or those grass strips along/between roads knowing that it was made to be that way.

like this is not a grassland area. most of it is either former forest land that got clear cut for House and Citrus Plant or former sandhill habitat depending on specific place, but neither of those are meant to be just plain empty fields of short grass

it’s just. sad, knowing what it could be. I grew up five minutes from a nature preserve and it honestly spoiled me with how much you could see in the first 20 minutes (raspberry! yellow-shouldered blackbird! gopher tortoise! lizard’s tail!) compared to 90% of what you see in developed areas over years

and then you have people who think that their lawn is the pinnacle of landscaping bc it’s Just Grass doused in 3 gallons of poison and free of pesky bugs like ants and bees or “weeds” that ruin their Nice Suburban Aesthetic complaining that it’s just ~so hard~ to maintain their pitiful withering st. augustine lawn that dies when it’s a day ending in y.

it infuriates me but it also makes me so sad. you don’t know. you just don’t know what you’re missing out on. I highly encourage looking up tapestry lawns and xeriscaping bc native plant gardens are just so pretty and you will not believe how many species you’ve never seen before will become regulars in your backyard.

contact native plant groups (many will send you seeds!) research the biome you live in. find out what plants support local wildlife. and remember, your HOA can’t do anything if you plant endangered species and declare your lawn/backyard a preserve ;)

#it speaks #anti lawn #native lawn #that is an actual thing you can do btw #you can try to work with them if they don’t suck but honestly screw the HOA #and for the love of fluff do not choose to plant st augustine grass it’s so bad

No Mow May-Planting a Pollinator Friendly Lawn

Turf grass lawns are an American tradition. Everyone who has any kind of yard or property aspires to having a perfect green manicured carpet. But as we now know, grass can be a dead zone for native insects and birds, devoid of any nutrition or habitat for native species. Mowing, watering, fertilizing, and pest controls applied to turf, all impact the environment negatively and can be…

🪻🌱🐝 💜 🌿 ✨ // violets & violet miner bees // part of my natives + pollinators series // gouache on paper

tiny violet miner bees (Andrena violae) are a specific pollinator: they pollinate wood & dog violets in the Northeast, and show a strong preference for blue violets. letting your grassy yard rewild itself and grow violets every spring not only lets you make violet syrup, it also gives violet miner bees their most important food source and increases local pollinator diversity.
