    "Instead of a manicured lawn and garden, Beth and Craig
    Sinclair planted 150 trees and other native plant species in
    front of their bungalow. The couple, who moved to Smiths Falls
    from Seattle about a decade ago, said natural lawns like theirs
    are common in their former city."

    Friends of mine have done this in their backyard -- clearing the way so it's a natural park-like lightly canopied area the son can easily get his wheelchair out into to enjoy a cool breezy day or evening in the summer. . .

    The ground is solid, lightly covered in hemlock needles. . .
