We had a load of work done on the house last year, which messed up the garden near the house and garage. One of the builders is an ex-professional gardener, so he laid out a lawn on the part that was lost, including a big circle where a pile of sand was lying, so now we have a low-maintenance lawn with 90% wild grass and Ox-Eye Daisies, and a spot for the rotary clothes line.
The daisies last all summer, along with some buttercups. There are hundreds of insects visible and audible on a sunny day.

Our council does this with roadsides and roundabouts - it's rather nice.
