As Colorado tries to handle a drought and demand for its water, the future is looking less like one with lush, green lawns.
“As a headwater state where the water originates we need to look at how we’re using it and a lot of that comes down to how we’re using it in the landscape,” said the Denver Botanic Gardens’ Jennifer Riley-Chetwynd. “The lawns that we’ve grown accustomed to, that is not a Colorado esthetic.”
“We removed our grass and before we were using lawn sprinklers to get both the lawn and some flowers. So I’m hoping that with the drip system we can just direct it more toward our plants,” said John. Losing lawns to sometimes pointy plants might sound uncomfortable. But common spaces like parks will almost certainly remain turf covered for a long time to come. But most lawns are simply decorative.

That assumes the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe, whether wholly, as the Alito draft would have it, or partially, in a compromise. Either way, fasten your seat belts, Ohioans: Your ride to November will be bumpy, writes Thomas Suddes in his column today.
