Originally posted by onthepequod: [B] One thing we noticed when we were over in England, is how popular gardens were as opposed to lawn. This seemed odd at first but only because I’ve been steeped in a societywhere practically every house has a lawn. I am intrigued by the garden concept though. BTW, we loved London. [B]

Yes, flower gardens are what people crave here. Hardly anyone has just lawn, they like to plant and tend and have colour and scent.

My parents have a fantastic garden, quite large, with trees, flower borders, herbs, planted containers on the paving near the house, and a lawn (complete with daisies, dandelions and buttercups) with a sundial in the middle! They also have a tub full of nettles and other weeds that butterflies like to lay their eggs on, so they always have butterflies in their garden.

My dad mows the lawn when he feels like it, and no-one else cares how often he does it!
