I have noticed a lot of snobbery in gardening circles in recent years but any garden, no matter the size, shape or amount of money spent on it, has the same effect on those who actually put the hours in doing it. The Lord of the manor cannot 'feel' the same way as the bloke who actually got his hands dirty when they both look out over the beds and lawns, the Lord has merely issued a command, the working class made it happen. -- http://www.blueyonder256k.myby.co.uk/ |

Fortunatley not :-)) PS Incidentally, if you are Mike who used to have an address with 'rugrat' in it, can you please email me re Dennis (RNA). Well 'rumrat' if you like when I was on Demon :-)) Big problems with Demon who eventually offered an apology :-)) I am afraid I do not suffer fools gladly or those who use the language of the gutter. You can find me at mikedotcrowe1atbtinternetdotcom. or by snail mail at PO36 8PG much to Sacha's disgust that I am so well known and 'respected' that a simple post code finds me :-)) Mike -- H.M.S.Collingwood Ass.

I've always thought it was a great leveller. Everyone looks the same in gardening clothes and the interests are the same, even if the tastes aren't. My experience of people who are passionate about gardening and plants is that there ARE no social barriers, except possibly from the sort of Mrs Hampstead I was thinking of originally.

My experience of people who are passionate about gardening and plants is that there ARE no social barriers, except possibly from the sort of Mrs Hampstead I was thinking of originally. And real gardeners garden, Lord or not. But I'm not sure that gardening is designing Sacha, Some people love the plants, they like growing them etc but others seem intent on the hard landscaping and overall effect so plants are seen as making up the effect like scenery shifting. I'm forever buying plants or growing things that have no part in an overall scheme (if there were one) though I have a blue bed a yellow bed and a red bed so I know where to shove stuff that's too big for the pots To a designer a lawn has to curve or feel right, to a plants person a lawn is there to be inched away so there's more room for the next perennials .............. On the other hand, I expect there's wonderful people who combine both skills, though I have yet to find a designer who wants to know where the greenhouse is going, where \I could put all my cuttings in pots and empty flowerpots and a seed bed for new plants. -- Janet Tweedy Dalmatian Telegraph http://www.lancedal.demon.co.uk |
