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?

It grows quite well for us on clay soil in the Bergisches Land region – just give it a try.

I 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.

At the moment, I’m really enjoying everything that’s blooming.

Do you have any knowledge of botany, or did you look up all the names?
