Abstract/Contents: | "Fifteen years ago environmental concerns spurred the movement to reduce the size of the lawn or replace it with other plants...As a result of these concens, interest has grown in alternatives to the conventional lawn, including the use of native plants in more naturalistic landscape designs, xeriscaping or low-water landscaping, creating backyard wildlife habitat, planting wildflowers in home gardens and roadside plantings, replacing lawns with groundcovers, and restoring native plant communities." Includes: Going native; A New lawn aesthetic. |

Quotable quotes | "Like any natural landscape, a native lawn is not created by a "just let it go" approach. Nor is it inexpensive. You can expect to pay the same or slightly more than you would to install a new conventional lawn." p. 10 |
