Lawns are so yesterday! Homeowners are going green and converting their lawns from ho-hum grass to a plant lover's paradise with native species.
Here's an excerpt:
"I record my casual gardening observations as I go about converting our boring suburban lawn into a more attractive, diverse and environmentally beneficial landscape. I prefer trees and shrubs to flowers, battle deer and groundhogs regularly but welcome all wildlife, and am always on the lookout for plants that thrive in the mid-Atlantic and for commonsense, inexpensive gardening solutions. I've been a Master Gardener for 10 years but have been gardening one way or another all my adult life . . . and I'm more than a little obsessed with plants."
