Behold, the World's Ugliest Lawn! Yes, that's a compliment. Kathleen Murray from Tasmania, Australia won the global competition, which was started by organizers in Gotland, Sweden's largest island. Organizers praised the "deep, dry divots" in Murray's lawn and noted that "not one dust-covered decimeter is wasted on watering.” The point of the competition was to draw attention to the culture of perfectly manicured lawns and the environmental damage such upkeep produces. Yards that require large amounts of water to maintain are coming under increasing scrutiny as climate change makes periods of drought more frequent and more intense. Competition organizers want to show there's beauty in sustainable behavior — even if it's a little dry.

Thanks, Elenor. I am guessing at the year?

I di this one awhile back when I was on an ipad. Thanks, John.
