Two books available in the Halifax Public Libraries might be of interest:
How to get your lawn off grass : a North American guide to turning off the
water tap and going native /
Rubin, Carole.
Redesigning the American lawn : a search for environmental harmony /
Bormann, F. Herbert, 1922-
There are two books on the subject in the NS University Libraries Catalogue
(Novanet) You should be able to get them by an inter-library loan through
one of your local Halifax libraries.
The Lawn: a history of an American Obsession - Virginia Scott Jenkins
American Green: the obsessive quest for the perfect lawn - Theodore
Steinberg
There are also other "alternative lawn" books available by inter-library
loan from various regional libraries around the province.

Subject: RE: [NatureNS] Lawn flowers/weeds
I've been trying to locate a book published about five years ago about the
lawns in our lives. It's a British book and I remember the review I read, I
think was in the Times and covered the sociological and historical look at
lawns. It's a sore point with me. I am the president of a Halifax condo and
the owners think the grass should look like a golf green( the chemical
kind). I keep meaning to ask Terry Paquettes brother who is librarian at the
ag college, whether he has heard of it.
Its awful that we human beings are held to ransom by grass
