-===== 1. Resources =====+===== 1. The Problems with Lawns ===== 
 + 
 +Take a moment to think about the constraints we put on lawns. 
 + 
 +  * **A lawn plant must be short**; Between 1-4 inches tall. If it grows taller, it must be tolerant of regular mowing to that height. 
 +  * **It probably needs to be durable**. A lawn used for recreation needs to tolerate a great deal of foot traffic. Kids, dogs, adult yoga; lawn plants handle it better than any other. 
 +  * **It also must be aesthetically pleasing**. Many people want a green lawn for as long as possible and water their lawns constantly to achieve this. 
 + 
 +Very few plants manage to meet these all of these criteria.
