Outside just about every Minnesota home is something just as American as apple pie, hot dogs, and baseball. Yes it’s your lawn!
Back in England, say around the time of the industrial revolution, only the very rich had a well manicured patch of lawn. American merchants wanting the same brought the seed back to the new world only to find English lawns didn’t perform the same. The idea did not catch on right away.
It wasn’t until 1915 when the USDA got serious about developing turf grasses for North America. Even more so, in invention of the reel mower took lawns to main stream Americans wanting that same upper crust look as the English.
