Per V4.1 BD+C beta guide "25% of the minimum 30% total outdoor space requirement must be planted with two or more types of vegetation". However, the guide does not specify the vegetation types, can turfgrass now be considered as one of the vegetation types?

Please refer to this credit's "LEEDUser's Viewpoint" page : Turf grass is no longer called out as noncompliant. Instead, the credit calls for “a diversity” of vegetation. I hope this helps.
