Does anyone in your street have anything in their garden that you either love or hate?

My next door neighbour on one side has the most beautiful garden in the front -there are always flower of some sort and it is meticulously looked after.
A few houses down though they have a very uygly unkept verge which I do not like -they always have cars parked there and it generally looks awful -no one with gnomes or anything else notable like that however!

One of my neighbours has a snowflake tree that looks gorgeous when its in flower. Another has a very pretty pink Calistimon. I wish the folks at the bottom of the hill would mow the lawn outside their house (I'm not sure if it's theirs or council land) because the grass gets so high sometimes my three year old just about disappears in it and I worry about snakes.

Weeds. But I am sometimes guilty too.

I am in an apartment block so there are no front gardens to admire unfortunately

To be honest, I don't pay much attention to my neighbours' yards. There is one yard close to where we lived before, though, that sticks out like a sore thumb. The place was a total dump. At least that's what it looked like when we'd drive past.

There area few in my village that have dreadful gardens, but they are not near me.

Some of the ideas of putting plants in buckets that are brightly coloured...somehow just don't seem to look so nice.

I always shake my head and wonder (what's going on in theirs)?

Plants belong in the garden if at all possible, but the buckets used are the very same as in my pic.

This person has about 7 all standing on the lawn.....

Nothing outstanding, except next door's unkempt yard. Others' are just between normal, & well looked after.

I've just a mango tree, camellia bush, & rose bush affront. Rest is taken up but cement driveway. Boring.

Nothing really outstanding comes to mind...Just lovely tidy yards with wonderful flowering plants which add such colour and vibrancy to the entire area! I adore my own plants,whether they are roses,hibiscus,or simple herbs!I make certain that I spend an hour each day pottering among them all!!! I do think that in my own yard the favourite thing must be the fabulous tropical green tree frogs which thrive and always seem to be smiling when they look at me!!

My 1-2ft weeds and their taller planted friends have a more rustic natural looking feel than any sterile manicured garden ( they have movement and grace unlike rigid symetrical sticks planted in rows pretending to be natural

I love my front yard! Every year I grow a wild pumpkin vine right to the curb and the mailman has to ride around it! Everyone loves it as it has so many pumpkins I give them away for free. It is a great way to connect with all the neighbours. Everyone else's yards are boring :(

Yes at the rear, a pool the children are apt to yell and scream, plus a person that treats his front yard as a junk site.
