“American’s are stupid about lawns”.

- In many other places around the world, the situation isn’t much different.

We Europeans are very much like Americans.

Best gradeners of the world?

I’d say the people living in Tuscany, Italy. They use their pieces of land for making their own olive oil, their own wines and they also grow all sorts of vegetables and herbs.

The Tuscans are among the most Conservative people to be found anywhere and they are much more in touch with their roots than 99% of all us other Westerners. Still Tuscany isn’t exactly poor or backwards. This part of Italy has a very special place in my heart.

These people gave birth to the Renaissance. Says it all.
