Please advise how to go about planting a natural grass garden in midlands, cold dry winter and hot rainey summer. Soil conditions, feeding etc. What is the best ‘lawn’ for a courtyard? Also, any tips for trees that handles severe cold.
Thanks,
From new area gardener

Not specifically related to the Midlands, but there is an interesting group I belong to on Flickr called Lawn Replacement which has images of natural grass gardens – check it out at https://www.flickr.com/groups/lawnreplacement/
