for for visitors here the smithsonian
2:39
the picture perfect mon requires
2:41
a lot of work
2:43
her fears mowing and edging
2:45
or a rating which is punching holes
2:47
over seeding then we follow that
2:50
up with lawn fertilizer
2:52
the help grass grow and herbicides
2:54
to keep the wrong stuff from growing mainly
2:57
broadly weeds then
2:59
there's regular watering and then because the
3:01
moisture in
3:02
and we do do a few fungicide treatments
3:04
throughout the summer
3:06
just as to me to take the that nine hours
3:08
of work and seventy two thousand
3:11
gallons of water to keep part here
3:13
green year round and this
3:15
patch of lawn is only about as big
3:17
as big as
3:21
the
3:22
park hair is like it's own work
3:24
of art it's value lies
3:26
in how it makes you feel
3:30

3:35
effects mom just from

americans do a lot for the
3:54
love of the lawn lawn extend
3:56
from maine to california to florida
3:58
including many places
4:01
the ground and each year american
4:04
stand twenty trillion
4:06
gallons of water amon care
4:10
it wouldn't america's largest crops but
4:13
doesn't feed
4:16
why do we go to all this trouble
4:18
for something doesn't make sense economically
4:21
or ecologically i'm
4:24
on side door we go digging
4:26
into the past to find out how the
4:28
aesthetic of the perfect lawn became
4:30
so deeply rooted
4:32
the american freaky see
4:35
that as historically and
4:38
today that coming
4:40
up after the break
4:50
door fans will appreciate that the story life
4:52
on earth is full of mysteries and
4:55
there's a podcast from pbs called aeons
4:57
mysteries of beep times that explores
4:59
best of them would
5:02
we even recognize the first dinosaurs we
5:04
found it and who was behind
5:06
the fraudulent fathers the so called
5:08
piltdown man
5:10
the podcast the covers what we know and
5:12
what we still don't know about natural
5:14
history you can listen to aeons
5:16
mysteries of the time where
5:18
ever you get your podcasts
5:24
the think the classic
5:26
american law and this is the image that comes
5:28
to mind a boxy little house with fit
5:30
walkway maybe some flowers along it
5:33
and infant a tidy square
5:35
as trim mean
5:38
image is so big into my
5:40
brain doesn't even feel
5:42
like a choice it feels like default setting
5:45
is default setting cindy
5:47
brown manager of collections education
5:49
and access at smithsonian gardens
5:51
and we often do things that we have no
5:54
idea why we still do
5:56
them
5:56
what made start doing that to
5:58
begin with
6:02
when we trace the origins of the american law
6:04
and we quickly find it's
6:06
not originally american
6:09
well he came from europe in
6:12
england and scotland lawns
6:14
were seen as an
6:16
elite part of your
6:19
estate
6:20
in europe grassy lines were status
6:23
symbol among the nobles and aristocrats as
6:25
seventeenth century because they
6:27
were intentionally impractical
6:30
think about it you had money
6:33
to be able to spend on something that
6:36
really didn't do anything for
6:38
you
6:39
the have a lawn was essentially to say
6:41
i have enough food that i don't need the
6:43
space for guard and rice and i have
6:45
enough money that can pay someone to take
6:48
care of it just because i
6:50
live a life of abundance exactly
6:53
this
6:53
one was purely
6:55
statement on you your
6:58
status in society
7:04
along with the british the lawn hops the
7:06
atlantic and even the american revolution
7:08
didn't start this i'm taking root among this new
7:10
country's elite if you are
7:13
trying to emulate
7:14
what's you think the
7:16
rich and powerful are doing would
7:18
ensue
7:19
rp how their estates look
7:21
george washington and thomas jefferson were like keep
7:23
your monarchies that will take
7:26
the green green grass please and
7:28
you so if you got him on a cello are you go
7:30
to mount vernon year the
7:32
ones you're gonna see that
7:34
green swaths that
7:36
sets off perfect
7:38
abode
7:39
the point in europe only the privileged could
7:41
afford lawns because all the time and work they
7:43
talk and who did work
7:46
the inflamed people were the
7:48
ones that would have to ten lawns
7:50
and use sides to cut by hand
7:53
though
7:53
in the early days of are nice and you'd really only sea
7:56
lions at the homes of wealthy landowners
7:58
slaveholders but that change
8:00
in mid eighteen hundreds when trolleys
8:03
and street cars made it easier to travel into
8:05
and out of cities the growing
8:07
middle class started to build homes and bigger
8:09
parts of land of land came to be
8:11
called the streetcar suburbs paint
8:13
a picture to meet the for me like that i don't
8:16
have a good mental image for the victorian
8:18
era suburban lawn go
8:21
look up andrew jackson down
8:24
andrew jackson downing
8:27
with a horticulturist author and
8:29
is widely considered to be the father
8:31
of american landscape probably
8:34
be better known today if hadn't died young and
8:36
steamboat accident that for
8:38
downing landscaping was about more
8:40
than projecting than certain image
8:42
it was about character he
8:44
believed a house is architecture and surroundings
8:47
could affect the and morals
8:50
of it's owners the
8:52
road when smiling loans
8:54
and tasteful cottages begin to him
8:56
the country we know that
8:58
order in culture or
9:04
in fact even wrote not
9:06
to show you if you had this size
9:08
property what could you do if
9:10
you had this style of house what could
9:12
you do i think of him the
9:15
early ninety's still as
9:17
he didn't put out books and
9:20
all his designs included
9:22
press
9:25
though if you're going to
9:27
be the in people you're
9:30
gonna follow along with that
9:34
downing envisioned yards that imitated
9:36
nature but improved on
9:38
it exotic trees replace
9:40
need one rare flowers
9:42
the replay common ones and he wrote
9:44
smooth tests instead
9:46
of wild meadow the speaking the presence
9:49
of tasteful and enlightened mind
9:52
the who don't want be tasteful and enlightened even
9:55
victorian era suburbanites had jones's
9:57
keep up with and he needed their loans
9:59
to reflect the innermost virtue and
10:01
intellect and that required
10:04
tools what did take to care
10:06
for lawns at that time because there there were no
10:08
lawnmowers in there were no hoses so how
10:10
did they do that brow actually dated
10:13
start to have mauer is and houses
10:15
very good because lawnmowers
10:18
the early law
10:19
nord started in of the
10:21
early eighteen hundreds and eighteen
10:23
thirty
10:24
the englishman patented the first mechanical
10:26
lawnmower it looked kinda like low
10:29
slung grocery cart made of
10:31
cast iron in other words
10:33
mary heavy and from eighteen
10:35
thirty onwards they just can't making
10:37
improvements upon the lawnmowers
10:40
there
10:40
was any number of designs
10:43
out there of lawn mowers they were even
10:45
ah i think our dog drawn more
10:47
i guess so people were
10:50
coming up with all kinds of ideas and terms
10:52
of making their lives easier
10:54
during connelly see the museum specialist
10:57
at the smithsonian the archives of a narrow the
10:59
gardens
11:00
she handed me an advertisement from eighteen ninety
11:02
seven wow peter henderson
11:05
and company new york one
11:07
that shows a man in a bowler hat
11:09
sitting on what looks like a flag
11:11
isn't that what kind like flagstone just
11:14
it reads the coldwell
11:16
improved horse lawnmower
11:19
we guarantee of to be the best and most perfect
11:21
horse lawnmower manufactured the
11:23
man is holding with and in front of him
11:26
in a way down and the
11:28
fine print states at the new
11:30
attachment for instantly raising the knives when
11:32
traveling along roads and stony places is
11:34
very convenient and sixty dollars
11:39
if equipment got better and better lawns became
11:41
increasingly affordable for more people
11:44
the tools were advertised in seed catalogues
11:47
and advances in color printing technology
11:49
made dreamy landscapes look even
11:51
more enticing than ever
11:54
the seed catalogues were a beautifully
11:56
illustrated this was before color
11:58
photography obviously in the
12:01
, for colorful
12:03
and homey they
12:06
really do you wind at it was almost
12:08
even desk what they were selling
12:11
one
12:11
ad for nineteen ten says woman and
12:13
an extravagant hats and floor
12:15
length white skirts pushing
12:18
a dainty mower there are no
12:20
grass clippings on her dress there's still
12:22
like the grass stains of the edge of her
12:24
handling this is clearly a fictional
12:27
depiction of birds and going along absolutely
12:30
or the or the seat come
12:32
the news were also responsible for pushing
12:34
on the idea of of law
12:36
then there was money to be made
12:39
so between equipment and
12:42
seeds supplies it was very
12:44
important
12:47
the early nineteen hundreds sprinklers
12:49
became widely available as well
12:51
because that amazing amount
12:53
of growth really does take lot of
12:55
water and a lotta nutrients to be
12:57
able to make it girls are native grasses
13:00
are not the same they grow and then they stop
13:02
and then that's it
13:03
then you brown says these turf grasses
13:06
like the concept of the law were imported
13:08
from the damper cooler climb that's of northern
13:10
europe they needed help surviving
13:12
and most of the us we had to adapt
13:15
the environment to match the
13:17
the we want exactly
13:19
pretty soon innovation would begin to change
13:22
the grass itself thanks
13:24
kill oh game the
13:27
game
13:28
get it you know horseshoes badminton
13:30
croquet and most
13:32
importantly the biggest game of
13:34
them all
13:43
in the ninety
13:44
twenty we had a golf
13:46
in crate
13:47
it was the thing to do it
13:49
affected what we planted how
13:52
that turf was around because
13:54
god is really hard on
13:56
terse sneered didn't hit by that
13:59
little stay yeah
14:06
so he us da
14:09
at the time created
14:11
as prefer grass to be
14:13
able to be planted on golf
14:15
course cinemas the us department of
14:17
agriculture yes
14:21
you won't be a worked with the us golf association
14:24
to develop hybrid grasses that would
14:26
stay green almost all year long
14:28
that is with the right chemical
14:30
products to support them
14:33
when we come back how envy
14:36
charity and wartime

15:20
memorial museum look for it now on
15:22
your favorite ferguson
15:25
we're back and we're talking about the roots of
15:27
the american lawn a concept imported
15:29
from europe around time of the revolutionary
15:31
war there was another war
15:33
that made the perfect suburban lawn
15:36
quintessentially american
15:38
what did world war have
15:40
to do with growing grass that's
15:43
a really need question surprisingly
15:46
much
15:47
beer saw her is the curator of agriculture
15:49
and engineering at the smithsonian national
15:51
museum of american history he says
15:53
the thing that links war with grass
15:56
is nitrogen the primary
15:58
ingredient in
16:00
both explosives and nitrogen
16:02
fertilizers is ammonia
16:05
fix nitrogen
16:06
during world war one factories were making
16:08
a lot of bombs after the
16:10
war these factories where we purpose
16:13
instead of just letting all this equipment
16:15
technology sit idle old instead of producing
16:18
closes now you can produce fertilizer
16:20
for your front yard
16:22
you might say there with fertilizer explosion
16:25
a lot of bomb making factories the game fertilizer
16:27
factories and following world war
16:29
two there was a new market for this
16:31
fertilizer
16:33
that brings returning after world war two
16:35
took advantage government policies
16:37
like the g i bill to not just returned
16:39
school but also to buy homes
16:42
in ten years between nineteen forty six
16:44
and nineteen fifty six more americans
16:47
purchased homes than in the previous one
16:49
hundred and
16:49
fifty years new suburban communities
16:52
grew up almost overnight
16:56
five years ago this was a bass
16:58
checkerboard of the piddle farms are new york's
17:00
lone islands today with a
17:02
community of sixty thousand persons
17:04
living and fifteen thousand homes
17:07
and their by one from
17:10
levittown
17:11
he doing in eighteen forty seven the housing developer
17:13
eleven and sun's mass manufactured
17:16
home me
17:16
the head of household of it was that
17:18
levittown's begin to spring up first and
17:20
places like long island and then throughout
17:23
the country and what they are is essentially
17:25
it's mass manufactured homes
17:28
and housing complexes service by
17:30
not mass produce the elements but daughter
17:32
make up a house just as the auto
17:34
industry does with apartment go into a new car
17:37
levittown health can be built in a gay
17:40
and every single house had
17:42
lawn and be
17:44
the levitz decided that every house
17:46
needs to have lawn you now
17:48
i'm are starting the create a patterns
17:51
in all the other housing
17:53
developers that developers that after
17:57
the to wear that like many other housing
17:59
the
18:00
or the time would not sell homes
18:02
to african american families city
18:05
image they created of the new american
18:07
suburb has a white woman
18:09
and with help the new national highway system
18:12
these white suburban the claim
18:14
sprouted up across the country and
18:17
with them decision of the
18:19
model lawn
18:21
the value the home begins to get tied
18:23
with how beautiful looks on the outside
18:25
which means a bright green
18:29
yeah
18:31
americans in the victorian era had signaled
18:33
their moral virtues and cultured case
18:35
to the plan things in their yards americans
18:38
in the nineteen fifties where signaling to
18:41
road of perfectly trimmed front lawns
18:44
gave the impression of united well
18:46
kept homogenous community
18:49
all white with all green lawns
18:52
and
18:52
you're also starting see the
18:55
rises as rises as of
18:57
conformity right it's the cold war
18:59
no one wants to be labeled
19:02
a communist and in
19:04
order to be patriotic
19:06
american you need to be
19:08
like all your neighbors
19:11
americans knew that the tallest blade
19:13
of grass is the first to be cut in
19:15
in era of the red scare it could
19:17
be dangerous the
19:18
standout so you have
19:20
americans wanting to tow
19:23
, line and sort of participate
19:26
in and the american dream and what does
19:28
that look like that looks like you
19:31
know a barbecue on your beautiful
19:33
green front yard
19:36
your lawn said something about
19:38
who you were whether you
19:40
belong
19:41
citizenship yeah what
19:43
it means to have a lawn became
19:45
acquainted with what
19:47
it means to be american
19:55
americans had something to prove with their lawns
19:57
and a whole industry rose to the
20:00
then to satisfy that
20:03
weezer are common enemy plaguing
20:06
, homeowners homeowners
20:09
golf courses and are
20:11
tempers
20:12
financing forty seven ad for one of dow
20:14
chemicals new herbicides in
20:17
addition to the synthetic fertilizers that promised
20:19
explosive growth new chemical
20:21
herbicides could target specific
20:24
weeds with killing grass
20:26
making the first all grass or
20:28
mono culture long way to possible
20:31
the spread plants are dead
20:34
those were protected or of course
20:36
thriving management
20:40
a growing sweet
20:41
home improvement magazines drove home the
20:43
idea that the suburban homeowner master
20:46
of his domain with just one product
20:48
away from a golf course worthy long
20:50
that would be the envy of all his
20:52
very and so you're beginning
20:54
to see the industry
20:56
push for a certain kind of
20:58
lawn and then consumers
21:00
homeowners are in by
21:03
being bad ethos and
21:05
making it there are merely owning it
21:14
the forces set in motion over a century
21:16
ago cultivated by industry advertising
21:19
and social convention continue
21:21
to act on us they
21:23
lawn care is a sixty billion
21:25
dollar in history
21:27
that all grass all green all
21:29
american law and is more attainable than
21:32
ever thanks to a whole arsenal
21:34
of tools designed to keep our lawn the on
21:36
my keyboard we joked
21:38
that they're chemically dependent the
21:41
chemicals the panic because sylvia schmeichel
21:43
lead horticulturist at the smithsonian national
21:46
museum of natural history they need a
21:48
lot for lies they need a lot of water at
21:50
that mean sent me a lot mowing so
21:52
that means you need lot of fuel and then
21:54
you have other diseases and past
21:56
that you're trying to get rid of if you want
21:58
that perfect pristine
22:01
we now know that many of the fertilizers pesticides
22:03
developed in the postwar era or harmful
22:05
to humans and wildlife access
22:08
chemicals run into waterways damaging
22:10
ecosystems and killing millions of fish
22:12
and bird each year
22:14
and so i think it's important to
22:16
remember what you put on your site
22:18
doesn't necessarily stay on your site and is
22:20
has ah impacts your
22:22
grader at natural world silly
22:25
says the more perfect your lawn looks by
22:27
industry standards the worth
22:29
it likely is for the environment
22:32
the
22:32
world faith in climate change it's
22:34
worth asking what perfect looking lawn
22:37
actually says about us today
22:41
i want rolling then i have enrolled in
22:43
long while in
22:45
front of national museum of natural history sylvia
22:47
showing me a different and of
22:49
on recruiting the kid on
22:55
my but it went that yeah this
22:58
is a pony her lawn it's traditional
23:00
american mon is velvet carpets
23:02
than this is shag rug
23:04
what did it take to make polyester
23:06
loss so the difference is
23:09
that we have have
23:11
with for the higher threshold for
23:15
he the plans other than turf grass
23:17
okay so if we find clover
23:19
that's okay we leave the clover we
23:21
know that it provides next
23:23
year to the holidays
23:26
hi meter line is better for bees and
23:28
wasps and requires a lot less
23:30
work than an autograph lawn it
23:32
needs less water less fertilizer less
23:34
knowing and the mix of plant species
23:37
supports beneficial insects which
23:39
means no pesticides cities
23:41
agree like you're giving me permission
23:43
to have yeah the freemasons
23:46
procrastinate gray said
23:49
what procrastination is not an option
23:52
what , it is your job maintain
23:55
a perfect looking flaws that
23:58
on the pristine monoculture party
24:00
they're just snyder the turkey
24:02
himself has something there
24:04
are ways to have a beautiful grassy lawn
24:06
and minimize the impact to the
24:08
environment like would you advise for homeowners
24:11
that you're putting into practice here
24:14
sure so i'm about ten
24:16
years ago we switched from synthetic fertilizers
24:18
to an organic have faced
24:20
fertilizer so i would certainly suggests
24:23
add to the homeowner now that that adds
24:25
a little bit cost but i'm we
24:27
feel that it's worth it naturally but
24:29
also about ten years ago we we moved
24:31
away from gas powered equipment and
24:33
garden and specifically for our lawn
24:35
care
24:36
they just came uses battery powered
24:38
lawyers and tremors using solar charging
24:41
stations the garden the
24:43
rate we're not only
24:44
awful the defendant see of gasoline
24:46
books were also also electrical grid
24:50
that even you can't build a solar charging station
24:52
for your battery ramon equipments
24:54
there other ways to minimize your lawn footprint
24:57
big thing mow your grass as tall as you can
24:59
if you have a cool season grass
25:01
or there goes a long way to reducing the amount of
25:03
water that you need the other thing would
25:05
miss in his we irrigate here but that
25:07
doesn't mean has to irrigate at home
25:10
just as you don't have to water
25:12
it is fine to let your grass go
25:15
brown
25:15
just because it turned around doesn't mean is that
25:17
it just means it's gonna
25:20
sleep for a while and it'll come back i
25:22
don't realize that i figured if it was brown
25:24
it was gone no that
25:26
best friend of ours to go with plants that would naturally
25:28
grow in the region where you live which
25:30
depending on where that is may not be
25:32
glass at all
25:35
letting go
25:37
of the idea of the perfect line goes against
25:40
generations of messaging we've received
25:42
as americans that are lawns
25:44
reflect who we are and what we value
25:47
but it's worth taking look at where those ideas come
25:49
from and whether we want carry them
25:51
forward as beer saw us as
25:53
every single yard is piece
25:56
of a big
25:56
python anything
25:59
happening at such
26:00
large scale is
26:02
, have some negative impacts
26:04
and in this case you know year
26:06
long as and feeding the world so
26:09
what is your lawn doing that
26:12
justifies the costs associated
26:15
with it
26:20
american mine has always been about more than just
26:23
grass it's space we
26:25
create or we can play eat
26:27
lounge around with friends pads and family
26:30
we define what the look like
26:33
if you choice and
26:35
it's okay they choose
26:37
imperfection the
26:39
idea of a not having perfect law
26:41
and like it's it's okay to be imperfect
26:44
and does it mean that you are you
26:46
know about citizen are there goes the neighborhood
26:48

26:51
