which of the two countries are the best at Gardening & Landscaping - The English/Japanese?
365 16/06/2010: Sky Blue Pink

Both Countries Are probably the best at what they do but, just who is it that's really the best in overall Knowledge & Skill?


They both have beautiful landscaping, but travelling through Britain you notice that it's got a lot to do with naturally growing things rather than human planning. It's just really colorful. Japanese landscaping is an art which they really put a lot of time into. The Japanese take a lot of pride in appearance and have some of the most ornamental and intricate gardens on Earth. I would say the Japanese. No offense to the Brits though. Don't want to get them too upset.

English gardens??? Please help.?
Merville de Quatre Saison

My fiance and I are using an English garden theme for our wedding and I'm having a little trouble. From the research I've done, there are several different types of English gardens and each has unique characteristics, but the websites I've found only list famous English gardens while not really explaining the quintiscential elements that make up an English style garden. From what I understand there are landscape gardens, formal gardens (which were supposedly modeled after the French and Italian formal gardens), country gardens, and cottage gardens. I could really use some definitive information on this to help us design our theme. If anyone could tell me the difference between the different types of gardens and what flowers/plants make them up I would really appreciate it. We chose this theme because my fiance is English and Scottish and is wearing a kilt for the wedding. We thought an English garden theme would be appropriate also because the reception is in a banquet hall in a park.


When I think of English Garden I picture the cottage garden. But there are many kinds as you say, just like many kinds of American gardens. I think you can pick the kind that appeals to you. You might do better at the library where you could get several picture books on the topic and find what appeals to you most.

Hello: We would like to know what the best way is to sell our lakefront property on our own?
Maltese Cross Flower

Our property is located on a private lake in Troy, PA. It is move in ready with all new ammenities. The price is $310,000, call: 570-549-2467. The house is a Cape Cod, with 3 levels, 3 bedrooms, sunken living room, vaulted ceilings, new wood flooring, freshly painted inside and out.

There are two large lakefront lots (185' of lake frontage), 2 outbuilding, and 2 docks. Year around activities, swimming, fishing, waterskiing, hiking, or relaxation is available for everyone.

The house is landscaped in English garden style, so something is always blooming. It features stonewalls, and pathways.

There are three univeristies within driving distance from our home, Mansfield, Cornell, and Penn State.

This house is a great place for singles, couples, or families. It is a great place to socialize with friends. Have a cookout, a camp fire or an evening canoe ride.

Please call or come take a look for yourself. The house has definite curb appeal. Thank you!


You could also try E-Bay, list in your local paper, put flyers up at the colleges and local businesses, or contact a company that helps you sell your home. I personally recommend the last one. They can list your home in the MLS and online. A lot of people do their house hunting online, especially with gas prices being so high.

What's a word for a large, landscaped garden?
365 15/06/2010: Love-in-a-Mist

I think there is a word in the English language for a landscaped garden that you can walk through. I believe Charlotte Bronte used it in Jane Eyre. It would be a one-word term. Thank you.
It's not park. It's a longer term. Could be French, though that's a wild guess.
It's none of the following terms either. It denotes a specific style of garden.

esplanade, estate, forest, garden, grass, green, grounds, lawn, lot, meadow, parkette, parkland, place, playground, plaza, pleasure garden, recreation area, square, tract, village green, woodland
Nor is it any of these:

back forty, courtyard, garden, grass, lawn, patio, play area, terrace, yard
Aboretum was a great guess. Maybe I'm mistaken in describing it as a garden. I guess I'll have to check Jane Eyre out and look for it.


Could it be "conservatory", maybe? Although I think that's an indoor garden... Or maybe "parterre"?

  • Jane Austen#39;s World of English Gardens

    Jane Austen (1775-1817) set her novels in the English countryside where she lived most of her life. Through these books, we are given first-hand glances at the place of gardening in the everyday life of these decades, when England was becoming a nation of gardens. It is clear from these images how much she was attracted to the landscape, to the farms and the natural beauties of the land.

    Farms

    Jane Austen's England was still an agricultural nation. We see no signs of the Industrial Revolution in her novels. Her characters lived in the country, where farming was the way of life. The gentry at this time was still largely regarded as the "landed gentry," and while it is not always easy to discern in the novels, a close look reveals that Austen's country estates were based on farms, and that many of her principle characters made their living through agriculture, either through farming their own lands (usually employing a steward or bailiff to manage the business) or leasing them to tenants. In many cases, the value of an estate was the value of the rents it received.

    English Style Country Garden Landscape Design pt 2

    Green lawns that feature picturesque views of the most stunning aspects of your garden design can be made more functional using garden furniture crafted from wood, especially if this furniture features an antique or aged appearance. Romantic, cottage style benches and outdoor furniture fits in especially well, especially along with arbors that are quaint and trellises that are fragrantly adorned. These things create all of the appeal that the country is known for without taking away from the modern beauty that your home possesses. Other exciting ideas for an English style country garden landscape design include quaint foot bridges, gazebos and rustic fences as well.

    Wildlife in the English Garden Design

    Traditional English style country gardens were teeming with a variety of different birds, insects and other wildlife . This life only serves to complement the natural beauty that the landscape style possesses on its own. Garden accessories such as rustic style bird feeders and bird baths and water gardens are one excellent way for you to attract a wide variety of different species into your outdoor living space, allowing a breath of life into your garden in the process.
