      All the “normal” lawn grasses in the US are native to Europe or Asia.

      It’s basically the only thing keeping the top soil in any great plains region from blowing away. Buffalo grass in particular is super important at controlling erosion, their roots go down several feet compared to the few inches turf grass provides.

      We need more multifamily homes, but I sincerely think that green spaces are super important, not only for the environment, but for the community as well. There’s no reason people who live in multifamily units shouldn’t have access to green spaces or gardens.

        Agreed, they just should be public spaces, instead of everyone having their individual lawn that they don’t know how to utilise in the best way.
