Please Keep On The Grass
Australia
Please Keep On The Grass (2010) saw 100 square metres of fresh turf installed on a concrete mall in Brisbane which was once a public park – in memory of and in hope for a greener city. This family friendly installation became a temporary hub for lawn sports, picnics and afternoon naps. Please Keep On The Grass came complete with two proud gardeners who fastidiously maintained the lawn and struck up friendly yarns with visitors. The turf was later donated to a local school and the project raised a small donation for Greening Australia.
