People who have killed their lawns

200807292200.jpg

I went for a walk in Sebastopol CA this evening and took some photos (crappy photos with my iPhone, sorry) of front yards that have gardens instead of lawns. They look much more interesting than grass, and some of them had vegetables growing among the flowers. I'm preparing to kill my own lawn and replacing it with a heavily mulched garden.

I hope more people take photos of front-yard gardens and tag them on Flickr with killyourlawn.
