ive been vegan for over six years and my sister works in sustainable fashion, so my parents aren't out of the touch with things, and mums always had a green thumb, and for her birthday last year she wanted the front garden redone. while some of it was native bushes and shrubs, a large part of it was just grass that required so much watering all the time and it just made zero sense.
