I am of the opinion that a lawn is most definitely not a garden. But that's just me. I have been striving to remove lawn grasses and replace them with something more environmentally friendly, more wildlife-friendly, less chemical-dependent, etc. But, that being said, some folks like in a community where they are actually required to maintain a lush lawn.
At the moment I live on over an acre of land. Some of it is a lawn (it was here before I arrived)...I pull weeds from it, I mow it (or daughter does when she visits), it is a big wasted space. Sure, it's beautiful to look at, but it does not produce food for humans or animals, so (INHO) it's a wasted space. I look forward to the day when this area will contain fruit trees and grape vines.
