My parents just mow the lawn every now and then and remove thorny plants when they find them. The garden is just wild flowers and weeds. Then they dig a little pond. Since then they have lots of bees and other insects, but no wasps. It’s nice and requires no maintenance whatsoever. If a plant dies, it dies. If it takes over, it takes over. In spring until summer their whole garden is full of daisys. A white garden. The dog loves it and ears the heads off then when he’s chilling.

This is exactly what I’ve been trying to do in my yard, but my damn mono-lawn neighbor keeps “maintaining” my yard for me… might be time for a fence.
