Overland Park will start allowing native plants in home lawns and gardens. Here's why that matters
www.kcur.org
Overland Park is updating city codes to make space for planned native landscapes, which have long been banned as "weeds." That could mean front yard gardens featuring milkweed, blue sage, native flowers and other species that once dominated the northeastern Kansas landscape.

    This is kind of hilarious, how are native planst classified as weeds and pests, when they are the most adapted to the climate in the region and consume lower amounts of water. Lawns with nothing but grass should be classified as pests.
