True value. Uh huh. I guess we found out which of the plants was suitable for the location and climate.
Or maybe the “plants” were the woodchipped forest scattered on to keep the weeds down…
What a heartbreaking picture. I feel strangely bereaved. Very melancholy.
Truly depressing …
A circle of despond.
Yes, it has a certain Edward Gorey ambiénce…
We just a blind poppet with the dead dog on a leash away from full Goreyiana.
If it’s taken 75 years for the flowers to get that big, I wonder what they looked like when they were planted.
The Jenkin & Thomas Garden shows a refreshing lack of the clutter usually associated with public gardens, allowing the viewers to focus their attention on individual plant
srather than being confused by a hodge-podge of foliage and blooms. In addition thedeadmuted flowers avoid an unnecessary show of gaudiness prevalent in too many gardens today. This is garden as metaphor, garden as thought-provoker, garden asmulchan inspiration to go forward in our own lives anduse more fertilizer next timefocus on what is truly important.That’s my kind of flower garden. Neat and damn few weeds to deal with.
Couda been worse …
… but jus barely.
Atlas: 75 years, maybe, but it’s no Wollemi Pine.
Colonel: You write those little cards they have on the wall at art exhibitions, don’t you?
Mike: I bet you like cement and astroturf.
Malach: Korean?
Joey: It’s what’s called a ‘water conserving’ garden.
Korean?
Drought? Budget cut backs? Locust Plague?
Cheap ass son of a bitch? No love?
Wow…that is a depressing piece of shit.
Pil: Korean?
MI: It could be worse. It could be raining.
Oh, wait.
Korean?
just goes to show that
1) nature isnt here for the long haul
2) mankind is (or at least some of our rubbish)
3) the council is rubbish. Allowing a permanent sign, then not maintaining the place.
I dont find it depressing. I voted labour in NSW last time – thats depressing.
