It is no secret that Australians love grass, kicking a footy, running under a sprinkler, having a barbeque in the backyard and spending time in the garden. Millions of Australians rose to the challenge of cultivating a perfect lawn. Coming up with a status symbol to which all could aspire required a commitment of time, money, and focus. The history, tools and stories behind this passion are showcased with CMAG's new travelling exhibition, The Blade: Australia's love affair with lawn.
In conjunction with the Australian Garden History Society, Richard Heathcote curated this exhibition that explores the history of lawn, from Indigenous land management practices through to modern gardening and lawn innovations.
Come and discover why we continue to love 'the green'.
