Why You Shouldn't Mow Your Lawn (And What Grows Instead)
As an artist, I often see the world from a different perspective.
"What sense does it make that we fertilize, water, and lovingly care for our lawn to get it to grow faster and taller, just so we can cut it off more often?"
Don't Mow Your Yard...
You might discover a whole new world of nature!
Wild Strawberries • Daisies • Clover • Wild Violets
These were all in my yard before I mowed last time!
I even have large Milkweed plants that when I do have to mow, I mow around them.
All great subjects to paint!

I did years ago, it was for "Tall grass/weeds in excess of 6”!
Seriously? 6"? I thought that was ridiculous at the time, I still do. LOL
