Here is this week’s Best of the Web:

• Susan Harris, of Sustainable Gardening Blog, has teamed up with 8 other bloggers to form the Lawn Reform Coalition. Read about this exciting new site in “How I Spent my Summer Vacation.”
• Susan Morrison, of the not-to-be-missed Blue Planet Garden Blog, also wrote about the launch of the Lawn Reform Coalition with the announcement of a contest to win a fabulous book, The American Meadow Garden. For details, see Lawn Reform Blog Contest: I used to have a lawn, but now I have…

Hope you enjoyed this week’s best of the web. What are you doing too reduce your lawn?
