Tara, what did you mean our fascination from lawn to street? Don't other countries have manicured lawns and flower beds? I know space is a premium and
ReplyDeleteoften there is no lawn.. Just wondering...
Lawns are mostly monoculture in USA, Europe has mostly a mixture of 'meadow' for maximum pollinators & keep it 'tidy' by using several mowing heights. Of course this is larger properties.
