I thought a garden chat and photo thread would be a good idea.
This way, we have a space to share current pictures and discuss dandelions and other plants.

What I meant is that an English lawn is simply not practical for most people. What is considered "practical" or not is always subjective. If the lawn is intended to serve a specific visual purpose and achieves that, then it is "practical."
We prefer to have a fairly large plot of land but use only a small part of it as a garden. There is no lawn at all. We find that absolutely "practical."
Question about creeping thyme. I’ve been considering it for a while, but since our soil is quite clayey, it’s generally not recommended. We only have a few square meters of “proper” lawn left; the rest has gradually been turned into a wildflower meadow ever since the kids moved out and the play area for soccer and trampoline is no longer needed. For the remaining square meters, I think thyme would be really nice and practical. That way, mowing wouldn’t be necessary anymore :-)
Should I give creeping thyme a try or not? Are there any experiences that could help me make this decision?

Question about creeping thyme. I've been interested in it for some time, but it’s not recommended for our rather clayey soil. It grows quite well for us on clay soil in the Bergisches Land region – just give it a try.

wiltshire21 May 2025 12:37I took a few garden photos with my new camera that I’d like to share with you. Maybe someone will find some inspiration here.

Here, a bronze elephant (about 15cm (6 inches) tall) balances 2.5m (8 feet) high on a stainless steel rod, watching over the entrance.

In the "wild," a heron stands on iron feet. Its body is made of stone, while the neck and head are crafted from frost-resistant ceramic.
