Oh For An English Garden


Jane preferred the countryside instead of the city. Her novels are full of detail regarding the landscape and gardens of her characters. Can you blame her?

If you ever have the chance to landscape your own garden and you like the English Garden look, here’s a good few tips:
  • Pay attention to pathways (gravel is a good choice) and seating areas.
  • Avoid straight lines and angles.
  • Be sure to plant roses, lavender and other herbs.
It would be nice to have a garden to sit and read in, or go for a long lovely stroll. Ah, someday…

Happy Reading!
