Cecilia:
Hi Plt. Dr.

I am very interested in turning my lawn (or at least most of it) into a native meadow.
I live on a suburban looking block in an urban area (k.c.), and am concerned about breaching city codes in regards to grass heights etc.
Do you know of any resources where i could find out more information about city codes and letting your yard go back to nature?

Thanks.

Hi Cecilia:
It is great that you are considering city ordinanaces before you undertake such a major project.
One source of information may be the Powell Botanical Garden right in your own city. They have many resources for gardeners especially with regard to making meadows and using native plants.
good luck... it is a great idea...... just find out as much as you can about caring for it and maintaining it before you begin.
