For anyone in the US looking to tear out their lawn, check out Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t on YouTube.

Edit to include caption:

[Image ID: A screenshot of a post from Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t that reads, “Attention to all CPBBD viewers in the US with lawns that they’ve been wanting to destroy but who haven’t quite gotten up the nerve or motivation to do it yet:

Crime Pays has a project in the works that involves removing (killing) a vacuous green suburban turf and replacing it with a lush and vibrant native plant garden with regionally local native plants. We will Turn a bland and sterile front yard into a pollinator buffet, all for free, and film the process.

If this sounds like something you might be into, please write us at [email protected] with a description of your situation, where you live, and a good way to contact you.

We are preferably looking for people that live in places where lawns make the least sense, like the desert Southwest, but no turf is too good to be destroyed. Unless they are being used for sports or for kids to play on, lawns are a silly and banal idea and status symbol that needs to die with much of the other obsolete ideas of the last century. But this doesn’t even need to be any silly political shit, lawns are just boring and a pain in the ass. Why not create habitat and restore some of your region’s native ecology instead?
