GARDENER TYPES A growing number of us have no garden at all. Recent history has seen more and more of us migrate away from the countryside and toward city centres. One consequence of this urbanisation is a lack of space. More and more of us are living in high-rise flats and even those of us who live at ground level often do not have luxury of a garden to call our own. Even some of the gardens we do have are gardens in name only; it may have been paved over to serve as a makeshift driveway, or a dumping ground for all of the household rubbish too heavy to remove to the local tip.
GARDENER TYPES Some of us who have a garden have barely acknowledged its existence and possess only the vaguest desire to see it prosper, maybe because of work and family commitments draining all of our time, or because of simple idleness, these gardeners never seem to get around to turning these thoughts into action and prefer instead to simply hope for rain.
GARDENER TYPES Then there are the sorts of gardeners who actually do something to warrant the name, whether this be just the planting of a few token flowers, or occasionally taking the time to mow the lawn. If you are of a technical inclination, then you may have invested in some automated sprinkler and irrigation systems in order to monitor and maintain the health of your garden without having to get your hands dirty.
GARDENER TYPES An enthusiast gardener takes gardening a great deal more seriously than the sorts of people we’ve thus far discussed. For them, gardening is a pastime to be actively enjoyed rather than endured for the sake of appearances. An enthusiast might maintain their own vegetable patch and eat fresh home-grown produce as a result of their endeavours. But just what, exactly, is so wonderful about this?
GARDENER TYPES Just as there are many different levels of commitment to gardening, there are also a range of different outcomes which that commitment might yield. Many people take a lot of pleasure from landscaping and maintaining their garden, adding plants and flowers that they prefer and creating a space that is unique and beautiful where then they can sit back, relax and enjoy the fruits of their labour. It may be that all you wish of your garden is that it look good and provide you with a nice place to sit and enjoy your summer barbeques. It may, on the other hand, be that your requirements are more practical. If this is the case, then you are in good company: more of us than ever are beginning to live the good life and grow our own vegetables. There are few more satisfying uses of a garden, after all, than to have it provide you with fresh produce all year round.
