[alt text: Text that says, “People [say] 'I never see butterflies or lightning bugs in my yard. Their yard: (colon)”. Below the text is a photo of a birds-eye view of a large house with an equally large yard. The lawn is covered in standard turfgrass (probably Kentucky bluegrass) that has been recently mowed.]
fuck grass, grass will do just fine no matter what we do.
meadows are shrubbery is where it’s at.
native grasses are good for pollinators and the soil! But yeah, I mean my goal is to have some sort of pollinator garden as well, at least in a portion of the yard. I have zero gardening skills so i’m trying to temper my expectations. lol
i’m not saying native grasses aren’t good, just that they don’t exactly need our help. Even in a meadow you’ll just passively get native grasses because that’s how grass does.
