Making Travelers' Lawn so I can instance or copy & paste it to cover large area

Hey,

I am making a lawn from Travelers' Lawn so I can instance or copy & paste it to cover large area in my render but anytime I try to copy the 'Grass Strip' null parent so that it also includes all 4 Traveler's Lawn Patches it doesn't work. I need to copy the Grass Strip & it's 5 child objects and then paste that multiple times and reposition those pastings until I have a lawn full of grass. Or maybe this is how you 'instance' but how do I instance without having bought those instance products?

How to I copy & paste the 'Grass Strip' to include the child objects?

Thanks.

OK, sometimes I must really dork around with the menu & read rather than ask questions as instancing is directly in the menus.

Thanks.

step a) create new instance node

step b) make everything you want to be part of an instance a child of the new instance node you created

step c) duplicate that edited instance node

step d) duplicate as much as needed until you have populated your lawn, forest, or whatever
