I think that historically speaking, it was English landscape architects who introduced a more naturalistic style in to Europe in the 18th C, as opposed to the formal French gardens, so for once it's not just the French having a dig at the English :)Gwanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13127784431543135980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32386502.post-11547341245451972822013-08-08T13:47:49.325+02:002013-08-08T13:47:49.325+02:00So Flirting comes in the middle, not at the beginn...So Flirting comes in the middle, not at the beginning? Does that mean it's the flirting that leads to Jealousy?<br /><br />I'm not a huge fan of walking through French gardens as they're often so formal and there isn't enough grass, but I love looking down on the intricate designs like the ones in your photos.<br /><br />On a side note, don't you think it's hilarious how in France "jardin anglais" is shorthand for "we let everything run a bit wild"?Canedoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00793959858820555197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32386502.post-72268238038504004762013-08-08T11:18:33.487+02:002013-08-08T11:18:33.487+02:00Thanks!
