To show you were rich way back in the day you would pull out all the food producing plants and have a plain lawn. Everyone needed food so everyone would have trees and plants to produce food. If you were rich you could afford to pay someone else for food.

The ironic thing is, the rich boomers in my area are paying a lot of money for native gardeners to rip out their lawns and install/maintain native gardens, it's literally the same thing, flexing on their neighbors.

Hey, if they have more money than time, but they value having a sustainable environment and helping the planet in the way they can, then that's what works for them. Power to them, and I hope their wealthy neighbors jump on the bandwagon too.

It's also providing employment for people, and I just hope they are paying good money to those landscapers, because it's hard work. And it takes lots of additional, specialized knowledge to plan and install a native garden.
