A tapestry lawn (also referred to as a grass-free lawn)[1] is a lawn format that has no grass component.
It uses a variety of different mowing-tolerant perennial forb species in combination. The overall visual effect of the many species of plants grown together is referred to as a tapestry. The format is based on research carried out at the University of Reading by Lionel Smith. Developed with a temperate humid oceanic climate in mind, it applies ecological principles and horticultural practices to address some of the ecological and environmental issues associated with traditional grass lawns.[2][3][4]
