Saw a neighbor's yard in Portland that made me rethink my whole lawn

I was delivering a package last week and saw a front yard that was all clover and wildflowers, not grass. The owner told me she hasn't watered it once this summer and it's full of bees. Has anyone else tried something like this to cut down on water and help pollinators?

Switched to clover last year and it's been great. Way less watering and the bees love it.

My yard is mostly weeds, so I guess I'm accidentally helping pollinators like @cameroncarr. I'm just lazy, not an environmental hero.
