What should Mahogany do about her lawn?

[mahogany]

I'm going to try to convince my dh that we should get rid of our lawn. I've never been a fan, and I've decided that this might be the year that we get rid of it.

I'm thinking of overseeding my lawn with a wildflower mix with flowers that are native to the pacific northwest, with some extra fragrant flowers thrown in.

LOL! I've been reading up on them, and apparently, they're more fragile than they seem. As it turns out, they wouldn't be able to invade an established lawn that has rye fescue in it (which pretty much all of ours lawns have), so my neighbours lawns will be safe. This also means that to create my wildflower meadow, I will have to cut out our existing turf. I can't just overseed :-(

A lot of work, yes, but not the hardest part by any means. The hardest part is bringing dh on board. At present, he is vehemently opposed to the idea.
