No but I do really fux with their compound language
Are these common German beliefs, am I in the wrong country?
In germany gardens are quite boring. Short cut grass to 6mm, hedges, front garden is stones. Barely and flowers. That is it. Not as brutalistic as american "gardens" because german gardens atleast the oder once have at least a BIT of british garden style.
I am german and this is the reason i dont want a garden. Because the image of owning a garden for it just to be boring has been ruined for me. Now classical english gardens. Oooh they are true beauty!!! If i would get a house and garden, then that would be the garden i'd get. But im pretty sure for all that i would have to go threw lots of governmental institutions...also these flowers sadly arent very well suited for the climat change heat from what i know. The other type of garden i'd love is a bog garden.
Buuut i dont know how faar i'd be allowed to get it to act like a natural bog. Mind this area used to be a bog until it got drained in the 50s-60s and its peat got harvested away :(
My neighbour just mowed the lawn (we take turns). Was the grass long? No. It's dead. We're in our 5th heatwave this year.
She only mowed the clover (which is (was) doing well) and the wild flowers that the other neighbour mowed around. What was (dead) grass is now dirt.
What is wrong with you, Germany.
I WISH I KNEWWW!!!!!!! THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP!!
Canadian gardens are generally boring also, though there will always be that one down the street where they go all out. But I have come to realize these are, in fact, necessary. You need to feel humiliated and apologetic about the state of your own yard. It builds national character.
You're right about England though! Wow, even the rolling countryside looks so carefully manicured. Really drives home to any Canadian our colonial peasantry roots. Highly recommend the visit. 10/10!
Idk i just have a german friend that would 500% agree with you
I like the cut of his jib
