Carl, thank you for connecting. You are right about landscape ideas of a former time finding a place today as we think about the landscape. William Robinson and the wild garden idea is one example.

I commented on a similar post on this site recently about america getting its landscaping inspiration from english designs however I think Loudon was spot on, gardening should be open for everybody to enjoy!

I found this article whilst looking for other information on gardening as I am a landscaper by trade. I found it interesting how american landscapers took their views from english landscapers and designers.

I think a lot of the old traditional landscaping this article talks about is starting to make a come back now.

Cheers

Comment on The Lawn Became the Essence of the English Garden by thomasmickey

I agree that the view of that green cover certainly entices many people in making decisions about the landscape. Maybe it is an ideal, and we do the best we can with the growing conditions we have. I rarely stress over the lawn, except when I have to deal with plants like adjuga creeping into the lawn.
