Snowdrops
"Sacha" wrote "Sacha" wrote That's my point. I don't know what the average garden size is in this country but apparently both gardens and houses have been getting considerably smaller since the last war. Perceptions have changed accordingly, I imagine. Sacha Pffffff ! You want to come over here to Holland - the majority of gardens are postage stamp size :~( A 'small;' garden in England seems huge to me :~) Jenny We've both just read Roy Strong's book about his own garden "The Lasket" and he is immensely complimentary about the Dutch and what they do with their tiny gardens. Small IS beautiful! ;-) Sacha I don't know if you mean now or in the past, but I must say that on average the 'regular' Dutch garden is probably better laid out and looked after than the average British one !! (ducking down to avoid flames) This is due to the very cheap prices of plants here. 'Normal' people in Holland do not really garden as the British do. They don't have to grow seeds or take cuttings as things are so readily available for next to nothing. They just go out and buy and instant garden down the garden centre. The British excel in really good specialist gardens but I am always disheartened when I go down roads in UK towns where there might be only one 'proper' garden in the whole street. Jenny |
