芝生

In a word

Lawn is a plant-related element that brings seasonality, shade, texture, or time to a garden.

Overview

Lawn brings seasonality and time to the garden. Leaves, branches, shadow, and growth change the scenery from season to season.

A gardener's perspective

Lawn is not complete when planted. Growth and pruning gradually integrate it into the scenery, shaping branches, density, and shadow.

How to observe it in a garden

When observing Lawn, look beyond leaves or flowers. Branch form, shadow, and spacing reveal how the plant shapes time and season.
