I’m a BlogClicker member (sign up here), because I like the randomness of blogsurfing without the ridiculousness of Blogger’s Navbar, which inevitably launches fake blogs selling pharmaceutical products and teens with thecursors that change into a crosshair. One thing that intrigued me was this guy’s effort to turn his backyard into a “wildscape” - a good way to “go green”, I think, and one that’s not so often talked about.
The “wildscape” idea made me think about the big difference between parks and gardens in England and those in France - English green spaces tend to be woodsier and wilder, French ones tend to be more manicured. (You could say you see the same pattern in London’s irregular street patterns and Paris’ Hausmann-designed geometric patterns.) I know nothing about landscape architecture, but presumably it would be a big philosophical split in the field, as (quick Googling here) this little article implies.
