I do love colourful floral front gardens too (mine's jam-packed with roses and lavender) but I think it's sad that here in the UK we just stick them on the front of the house like a tableaux in a museum and don't actually use them. Sure, it's about privacy, and I don't want everyone leering at me while I'm relaxing, but it ends up being a part of the garden I hardly ever visit. Sad really. Hi Karen.

Although if i had one and no room to park the car I'd probably succumb to paving. My front garden is just bit of lawn and hedge but I love to see front gardens with loads of flowers - I enjoy looking at them and they inspire me even if I can't go in them. But you are right - there's more to God than just looking at him. I think I am a bit like Lawrence LB I love really nice front gardens.
