'We’re gardening experts - you should NEVER get a plastic lawn'
HAVING a fake plastic lawn is as environmentally dangerous as "blowing smoke in your baby's face", gardening experts have warned.by Lynne Marcus, chairperson of the Society of Garden Designers.Credit: GettyShe warned: "We want to get through to people who are thinking of putting in artificial grass that it’s as serious as not wearing a seatbelt or blowing smoke in your baby’s face.
"I find it remarkable that people think it’s not OK to get a plastic bag, but it’s OK to cover your whole garden with plastic sheeting, which is what you’re effectively doing – and destroying 1,000 years of topsoil to do it."Designers have teamed up with Royal Horticultural Society and the Landscape Institute to initiate ‘Say No To Plastic Grass And Plants’, a project to spread awareness of the detrimental impacts of fake lawns.
Ms Marcus continued: ‘We have to stop this because it’s destroying our country. It’s destroying lots of countries, but we can do something about this one."
