  1. Quick note : Horse drawn rollers, cutters, the horses were fitted with leather overshoes so as not to leave prints in the lawn.

  2. So why not allow your lawn to go wild? Encourage meadow plants and flowers. The insects and wildlife will like it. A lot more fascinating than just a patch of green.The Cottage Garden , fed the family. Now God help us, there shops selling varieties of artificial grass, all oil and plastic. For those about to scream TREE HUGGER! No, my background is agriculture, so I know haow to make an acre of grass pay .

  3. Lawns- And Golf Courses- Green deserts - monoculture , very little bio diversity, a scource of pollution from chemicals and as stated heavy on water. The original park lawns were intended to show that the owner was so rich he could neglect to cultivate large areas for food.
