The Englishman’s Garden

The English like growing flowers. It’s a useful occupation because it doesn’t harm anyone. In winter the most romantic thing for some people is to pick up a seed catalogue and look at the brightly coloured pictures of summer flowers. Even people with a tiny patch of ground in towns like growing plants, and people who have never seriously tried to speak any foreign language carefully learn the Latin names of the flowers they plant.

If you want to please an English person, be very polite about the garden. He will probably tell you about his garden. So you listen and say, ”How interesting!”

The British are keen gardeners. Every small, suburban house has a lawn and a garden. In city parks people sit on the grass to eat their lunch on nice summer days.

The English gardens are internationally famous. Some of them are very beautiful, especially the big ones that are open to the public.
