The competition was created as the result of irrigation bans, meaning residents were not allowed to water their lawns. Mimmi Gibson, the acting marketing and brand manager at Region Gotland, said: “You might find it a bit strange that we want to pay homage to ugly lawns, but we have a challenge not being allowed to water our lawns.”
Norström’s prize-winning garden demonstrates “meritorious laziness” and “great care for our common groundwater,” the jury adds.
