It's one of my favorite activities. I know they might not grow everywhere but every time I find a nice patch of white-dwarf clover I love just spending 5 minutes leaning over and looking through it. You can almost always find a 4-leaf one with some patience and a little luck, and it's such a calming task that gets you looking at nature in the middle of your day.

When we build our house I didn't have the budget for landscaping, so I decided to just let whatever native plant wanted to come in to claim to soil. I've been very pleased with my whole lawn begining nothing but clover ❤️ When people visit they advise me that I need to do something about it. I don't get it. Why put in work to make something grow there that doesn't want to and fight off a wonderful little plant that has volunteered to fill the niche?

Bonus: I love the carpet of white puffball flowers they make and all the bees and butterflies it attacts. Better to let nature do as it will than fight against it ❤️
