The Greeks , apparently, did not have a tradition of private gardens but the art form was highly developed among the Romans, who left significant writings on botany and hydraulics. The ancient Chinese had private gardens which were frequently located in the common space found in the center of family compounds. Suffice it to say, there are gardening traditions the world over, including India, Japan, and Mexico.
Thanks for the academs & thoughts. I sold my house and I miss my garden. Plants didn’t get pollinated on my terrace.
Surale,
what a lovely refreshing description of your neighbor’s beautiful garden,
You are certainly professionally equipped to admire it!

After reading your post about 3725, I immediately got up and walked over to see it. A hidden gem in plain sight! I recommend a tiny one at the SE corner of 235th and Oxford. Thank you!
Thanks for the heads-up! I’ll check it out one of the next few days.
