Faux is Fun: The Gift of Play in the Garden


Topiary, spray painted ornamental onion heads and fake windows painted on homes in Wales are all examples of fun in the garden. They are the furthest thing from serious pest control or work projects in the garden.





This year I fell in love with how easy it is to keep a small shrub in a topiary form and when I was in Europe I saw how this form, while reviled by some, could be a lot of fun. If you are a serious gardener with only serious pursuits in mind this isn't the style for you.
