A green mirror of our time. Or: There are lawns and there are lawns…
Av: René van der Wal, Marcus Hedblom
<p>Lawns – don’t we just love them? A must for those with a garden, to look at, play in and spend countless hours of hard labour to ensure they are lush, green and well presented. And those who don’t may be looked at in disdain, or worse. Clearly, lawns are a physical reality that matters to many, but also a cultural phenomenon that raises many questions: How did we end up with lawns? What was it that allowed us to beat them into current shape? Who tells us how they should look like? Is it a place for us or also for others? And what may the future hold? Time to dive into these questions!</p>
