We bought our house in January. I immediately got rid of the grass by covering with all the moving boxes and layered some leaves from the alley and topsoil/ compost. Added wild flower seeds, comfy, tons of clover seeds, sunflowers, phlox, a couple fruit trees, and even some peas, cantaloupe, watermelons that are just now sprouting. 100% chaos gardens, 0% lawn! The clover is coming in and slowly covering the ground. I did it over a few weeks as I had time and physical ability. But it’s so worth it! Never will we need a mower. Which is amazing and so satisfying as I watch our neighbors pull out their mowers every week. 6B

    As a cisgender-heterosexual person I love those stairs so much and want to do it to my own if I am ever able to afford a home

    I love this. Echoing what others have said , the stairs are amazing. Whenever I see rainbows or pride flags in my neighborhood it makes me so happy.

    I’ve found that the people with the unfriendly flags usually have the ugliest most cookie cutter grass lawns. Yawn.

    Great work, can’t wait to see where you take it in the future!!
