Shit Lawns

Showcasing the hideous trend of plastic lawns. Cutting through greenwash & exposing examples of garden habitats being replaced by sterile and lifeless astroturf

[Shit Lawns @Shitlawns]

This is the most stereotypical of #ShitLawns. Let's play The Shit Lawn Generation Game!
Plastic carpet, box balls, poncy spiral conifer, sex pond, the sod climate change patio warmer, the pretending we have lots of friends BBQ Grill and the mystery prize, a White Range Rover!

Eco-resident calls for ban on artificial grass https://t.co/jTKjDW7gYJ

@Shitlawns #homesunderthehammer No, plastic carpet outside doesn’t make a garden look more modern, it makes it cheap looking, boring, lifeless and harmful.

[Linda Brunt(Brazier) @LindyBeee]

@Shitlawns Utter vandalism in Coventry

[Ban Plastic Turf @BanPlasticTurf]

Why are elected officials allowing schools, stadiums, & homeowners to install artificial turf even though they know it has negative impacts on personal health & the environment?

Now we just need a line of festival goers queueing for the toilet block at the back!

@Shitlawns New job by the same landscaper

The most sterile place on the planet…a soulless mass of lifeless tackiness

If you live in a flat but dream of a garden, hit the retweet! Those lucky enough to have a garden but abuse it need a wake up call!

[Penny 💙🌹 @Surfingspaniel]

@Shitlawns why would anyone want their garden to look like this. Looks like a rug laid on tiles, dreadful and soul less 😳🥴

[TheArtisanWoodshop @oldwoodtonew]

[Gerry Samuels @GerrySamuels12]

When you absolutely want no wildlife or nature whatsoever in your Shitlawned garden

Lifeless. Joyless. Soulless.

I tried warning the next door neighbours about having fake grass put down @Shitlawns #fakegrass #floods

[Gerry Samuels @GerrySamuels12]

@Shitlawns New job completed by the same firm, which now includes sex pond to add to the blandness

They seem determined to eliminate all local wildlife

[Gerry Samuels @GerrySamuels12]

@Shitlawns Local shitlawn landscaper using these shots to promote their shitty sterile wildlife killing work in a local Facebook group.

Netherlands turning away from artificial grass sports pitches due to cancer risk and environmental concerns. How long before we view gardens the same way?

Amazing what you can grow when you rip up plastic grass. Congrats to this garden on #walkleygardentrail who's transformed if from 2012 @Shitlawns

[Lovable Liberal and his Old English sheepdog @DougWahl1]

Should the next President tear up this mess and restore Jackie Kennedy's Rose Garden?

Your thoughts?

[Shit Lawns @Shitlawns]

Wonderful to see a real transformation, not the "summer-ready" transformation we see from Sleazigrass every 5 minutes 👏👏👏

Someone I know bought a house last year and hated the garden with articulation grass!
She loves my garden which is much bigger but with a tray of plants from me and others she bought. Just look at it now

[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

Little baby Jess arrived this morning dying of starvation.
Now she can smell food she's desperately biting the dish, not having seen a dish before and not realising that's not part of the food.
Jess had been seen wandering around an artificial lawn, hopelessly searching the plastic grass for anything to eat, to stop the pain of starvation. For two days.
This isn't cruelty or malice.
It's ignorance.
Treating the garden as an extension of the house; just another inanimate space to decorate and ornament, instead of the living, breathing nurturing larder and home to wildlife that it is, means you are killing animals like Jess.
Without even touching them.
Literally starving them out of existence.
Jess's finder was devastated when she realised, and has been sent home with a pack of Iams kitten food and a dish for any siblings that may still be alive.
Please leave at least some of your garden natural, and provide clean water, for the sake of Jess and all the other struggling animals.

Many petitions and campaigns to ban artificial grass, for residential use, childrens play areas, sports, or in town centres. All pollute, overheat, harm our environment and do nothing for nature. Rubber has to be replaced as it migrates into soil and water ways.

[Len @lenee_baby]

@Shitlawns blocked my path (they 100% saw me) and had to get round with my pram into incoming traffic! Killing the planet and small children in one fell swoop

[Shit Lawns @Shitlawns]

@WingsScotland When you're wiping out local ecology, helping with rapid urban runoff, increasing cancer risk, plastic waste burden, loss of carbon sequestration in gardens, loss of pollinators etc etc It has everything to do with all of us.
