The Flowering Lawn
The American Lawn: Reimagined
The lawn dominates our suburban landscape for good reason. It offers simplicity (just mow weekly), provides gathering space for family activities, and creates a sense of order that complements your home.
But what if your lawn could do more? What if it could support local pollinators, resist drought, and fight off pests naturally—all while still looking beautiful and meeting neighborhood expectations?
The Flowering Lawn: Beautiful By Design
Imagine your lawn transformed—not replaced, but enhanced with carefully chosen flowering plants that coexist with your current grasses while bringing new life to the space. These flowering species are specially chosen because they can adapt to regular mowing while still providing multiple benefits:
• Seasonal bursts of color throughout your lawn
• Greater diversity that naturally reduces vulnerability to pests and diseases
• Better drought resistance through varied root systems
• Support for visiting pollinators when flowers are in bloom
• Less dependence on chemical inputs and treatments
What makes the flowering lawn practical is its adaptability. You decide the mowing schedule based on your preferences. More frequent mowing maintains a tidy, conventional appearance, while allowing slightly longer growth between mowings reveals more blooms. The choice is always yours.
The Flowering Lawn offers a middle path for homeowners who want to move beyond resource-intensive grass monocultures without abandoning the functional lawn space that fits their neighborhood context.
