Certainly in the UK and Ireland there are controls. Same here in NL too.
As a neighboring country inhabitant, now I'm curious: where in NL?
(And like the sibling comment, also: where in UK? IIRC there's a whole 'no lawns' scene in the UK)
Lawn Controls...
..just the fact that anyone can say that phrase with a straight face...
Where in the UK? I am in the UK and I grow wildflowers all over my front lawn and no one stops me, and there are no powers to stop me.
