Well why would I want a boring grass mono culture yard?
This is basically how no lawns started. Over on Reddit just over 5 years ago I started no lawns after having a fun conversation with u/suuperdad about changing the boring grass lawn into some thing more native and better for the environment. On a whim I created a subreddit for it and we started with a hand full of people and now we’re pretty good sized!
With the reddit blackout on, we realized this community needed to be bigger than Reddit. We already started a discord and we have an Instagram (although I’m terrible at updating it) we wanted to reach even more spaces.
I found slrpnk on accident but, it seemed to really fit with our theme and here we are!
We’re anti monoculture, pro natives plants and we love a non traditional yard.
I always preferred the community “Fuck Lawns”. We are well past the point of “No” in this current stage of biodiversity collapse.
Fun fact, I mod that as well haha. I’m just not the owner and although that mod team does great, it’s very disorganized. Like literally no one got back to me about the blackout so I just restricted the sub on my own.
Thanks for starting this community! I’ve been mulling over ways to go about doing this in my yard and would love any pointers on where to start!
I was working on a beginners guide but, life happens. Or I guess, death in this case. Life has been complete chaos for about 8 months now so maybe I’ll get back to it soon.
