Lawns are a divisive topic amongst garden designers and landscape architects. Are they a staple in every landscape? Are they an ecological nightmare? Are they out of fashion?
In this episode, UK horticultural lecturer, Lucy Lewis and I look back on the history of lawns to reflect upon the motivating factors that have led to lawns becoming the staple they are in our built landscapes.
