In reply to Barbara Vandepas. I have used their Dryland Ecology Mix. It is good for the Pacific Northwest's "Cool Mediterranean Climate."

I have purchased eco lawn seed from Nichols Garden Nursery which is called northern ecology lawn mix. It has Highland Colonial Bentgrass, strawberry and micro clover “pipolina”, Roman Chamomile, wild English daisies, yarrow, baby blue eyes. I will be using it on our side yards on the north and south side of the house.

Most of the research on eco lawns came out of Oregon State University. There are 2 suppliers that I know of that have good mixes: https://www.nicholsgardennursery.com/store/product-info.php?Dryland-Ecology-pid1167.html and https://ptlawnseed.com/collections/eco-and-alternative-lawns/products/fleur-de-lawn

Nice article but where is the list of what to grow in the eco lawn? What type of grass? Which flowers add to the lawn? Would like to know where to start on this.
