Contexte culturel
The 'sodyba' (homestead) is a sacred space. Mowing the grass is the primary way to show respect for the land. Midsummer (Joninės) is a deadline. Historically, all hay had to be mown before this festival. There is a conflict between 'tidy lawns' and 'biodiversity meadows' in cities like Vilnius. The scythe (dalgis) is still used in some villages and is a symbol of traditional folk culture.
