Do you have a
Lawn just because "Everyone Else Does"
Most
home owners and "landscapers" here in South
Africa
This has
not always been the case in fact historically a lawn as we know it is a
relatively recent introduction to landscape design and is not practised universally in all countries.
For those
not attracted to that rather monotonous "green desert" look of your
average lawn or who dislike having to mow the lawn every week there are options,
in particular for small gardens. Whose garden is it any way, who do you have to
please other than yourself?
After all
are gardens not for growing plants in? Then why not make maximum use of the
space available creating green pathways or gravel pathways only wide enough to
get to the various areas of the garden and to separate the various groups of
plants.
Make your
garden interesting and pleasing to the eye make it a paradise for wildlife
instead of it being a “living dead garden” make it a “Proudly South African”
indigenous garden that is a haven to wildlife.
