Why No Lawns? (self.nolawns)

Well why would I want a boring grass mono culture yard?

This is basically how no lawns started. Over on Reddit just over 5 years ago I started no lawns after having a fun conversation with u/suuperdad about changing the boring grass lawn into some thing more native and better for the environment. On a whim I created a subreddit for it and we started with a hand full of people and now we're pretty good sized!

With the reddit blackout on, we realized this community needed to be bigger than Reddit. We already started a discord and we have an Instagram (although I'm terrible at updating it) we wanted to reach even more spaces.

I found slrpnk on accident but, it seemed to really fit with our theme and here we are!

We're anti monoculture, pro natives plants and we love a non traditional yard.

Thanks for starting this community! I've been mulling over ways to go about doing this in my yard and would love any pointers on where to start!

I was working on a beginners guide but, life happens. Or I guess, death in this case. Life has been complete chaos for about 8 months now so maybe I'll get back to it soon.
