I might add some of the suggestions

      Gardening stores should more commonly have seed packs of hearty local plants that make good lawn replacements. People shouldn’t either be stuck researching and sourcing seeds or just giving up and doing clover.

      native wild flowers and grasses make for a very pretty garden imo, and benefit nature a lot

      Yes, I keep slowly expanding my mulched native flower bed.

      If you’re in the US, Prairie Moon Nursery has a great selection of exclusively plants native to North America and ships. Live plants tend to be best in the spring, their seed mixes are excellent in late fall. And they have a lot of how to guides.
