Re: Book Give-Away: Beautiful No-Mow Yards, by Evelyn J. Hadden

when designing and building my house 30 years ago, i had two caveats: no sheetrock and no lawn. i conceded on both to an extent and don't regret it; both have their uses aesthetically and functionally. however, i spend virtually no time or effort on the lawn, which is partly shaded and was initially seeded w/ conservation mix. never use chemicals. i have gardens everywhere and many areas of ground cover, several unintended runaways like various lamiums (the rabbits of ground cover), vinca, gingers both wild and european, sweet woodruff, hayscented ferns. would welcome some fresh ideas w/ a new book!
