Lawn Ordinances with Chris Kennedy

The Horticulturati ·

2023/06/26

Why do we mow our lawns? That’s the question posed by our guest, artist and urban ecologist Chris Kennedy of the Urban Systems Lab and Central Texas Mycological Society; the answer is a tangle of municipal policy, attitudes toward property ownership, and status anxiety.

The Horticulturati ·

The beauty of this simple practice is that you can do it at any time of year with materials you have on hand (like cardboard,
