Instead of adding herbicides to our lawn, which harm the bees, butterflies, frogs, toads, and wildflowers, we are nurturing a mixed grass/white clover lawn.
It makes the lawn healthier, feeds the bees, feels great on bare feet, chokes out undesirable weeds, and looks lush and green even during the hottest, driest part of summer!

How wonderful! This is the way lawns should look...natural and beautiful.
Hi Lori :) Interesting idea! I'm looking forward to reading more - thanks for the links. Love & hugs, Q
I have come over here several times to say thank you for your kind words at my place, but have been interrupted by a child before I could finish it. So, I've gotten to enjoy your newest posts and photos each time and also read down through here. I must say I love your nature study! We too our avid fans of the outdoors. Well no interruptions, so thank you for visiting my place and I'll definitely be back here to see what you've got posted next!
Have a great week and blessings, Julie
That looks just like our lawn! Fauna found ten 4 leaf clovers yesterday and two 5 leaf. We LOVE our clover and dandelion yard.

Thank you, thank you for this post. I hate our backyard--bare spots everywhere, DH is constantly fighting with the sprinklers/re-seeding/straw/fertilizers/weed-killers--ugh! I made him read your post and these links and now he's hooked--asked me to order some clover seed ASAP--woohoo! :D
