I can see our HOA going berserk.  :lol: [/quote]

HOAs need to get over it. Pesticide filled spans of non-native green lawns are awful for the environment.[/quote]

And it's best to have a cottage garden with natives. You can use pollinator-friendly annuals, like zinnias and marigolds, to fill in gaps. [/quote]

It isn't "best" for any reason, you are being sneaky, you are just stating a preference of yours.[/quote]

WTH?

Not pp but it is preferable to use natives. They support native bees and more. [/quote]

Nope I will not limit myself to native plants. Why not tear down all building and rip up all highways and let all land go fallow and back to nature. My planting non-native plants is less harmful than buildings or highways. [/quote]
And it’s the loss of habitat - acres and acres of non native plants - that have helped kill off all our insects and birds. If the aesthetic changed, if people put some meaningful percentage of natives in their yards, we could change that die off.[/quote]

You and other insipid environmentalist put all the burden and blame on individuals and force greenwashing efforts down our throats, while addressing the actions of multinational corporations. [b]No, all of us planting native plants in our lawns is not going to do a thing for insects and birds[/b]. [/quote]

You are incorrect. Even just a few people in a neighborhood having some natives makes a big difference. If you don't think so, you haven't seen the data or haven't looked in your walk around your neighborhood. [/quote]
