New Jersey homeowner sparks debate by rewilding front yard
Original: N.J. homeowner ‘rewilded’ his front yard. Inside the controversial return to native gardens.
A New Jersey homeowner has replaced his conventional front lawn with a native plant garden, part of a growing 'rewilding' trend that is drawing both praise and criticism. Supporters say native gardens support pollinators and cut water use, while some neighbours and local ordinances still favour tidy grass lawns, making the practice controversial in many suburban communities.
Why now: The clash between ecological landscaping and traditional suburban lawn norms remains a divisive topic in neighbourhoods and local councils.
