greensward
Turf of grass
Greensward is a literary or old-fashioned word for an expanse of grass-covered ground—a lawn or turf.
The word evokes pastoral imagery and appears most often in poetry or formal prose: picnicking on the greensward, the castle's greensward stretched to the forest's edge.
Sward alone means the same thing.
