I don't know how this is a counter-point, isn't it just a point? Can lawns co-exist with no lawns?
EDIT: parent has removed "counter-point".
Sure, fair.
I read your comment can be read as a reconfirmation of the articles thesis that we love lawns because they are always great for people where I am offering a counter-point that kids also love non-lawn yards.
Not creating an argument- just offering a different point.
Indeed. Small lawn for sports and activites + large forest garden is a nice combo if it's an option.
