HeatherI'm really proud of my parents for growing this 'meadow' where once there was the most sad patch lawn. I explained the benefits of not mowing your lawn to my dad last year, and he really got into it. In the 2 years they have been in their house they have transformed the most boring patch of lawn into this meadow, lots of fruit trees, and multiple veggie beds.
Vessel of Unknown Origin@HeatherInNZ This beautiful and so much what I would like!
Frances_Larina 🏳️⚧️That's so relaxing to just gaze at, thank you (and them)!

Jamie@peterbrown @HeatherInNZ Please can I put in a word in favour of wasps too. They are just as important but bees have a better PR department!😉

Oh, good for dad, it looks marvellous and I bet it's a constantly changing delight that a lawn could never match

@HeatherInNZ , love it.
Tom Williams@HeatherInNZ I did the same in a rental a few years ago. My neighbourhood of neat as a pin houses with Australian flags on poles in the front yard wanted to report me to the police they were so disturbed.
@TomWilliams You are brave to do that with a rental! Our last place was a rental and I hated how the landlord would show up with no warning on a weekend and spend over an hour mowing the lawn. Now that we own our place, it feels like a great luxury to let our grass grow tall. I doubt the neighbours appreciate it but so far they haven't complained. I like to think I'm setting a good example for the neighbourhood 😂
