Tapestry Lawns - Veggie - 19-06-2020

Tapestry lawns are Grass-free and need less mowing than a grass lawn. Also better for wildlife, absorb more rainfall and need no fertilisation. They also look good!

I'll be honest, I've never heard of Tapestry lawns before but there's a website, a book and a 4 year study supporting the concept sponsored by the RHS.
Have a read - I think it looks great but I'm not sure I'm up to stripping off the "lawn" to start afresh. Maybe small patches at a time, more of a patchwork quilt than a tapestry!

No grass cutting but a heck of a lot of weeding! (eek) Rolleyes
