Upland Greenery

Suburban gardens are awash with vibrant colour from blossoms that originate in exotic places.

So why should the more modest delicate greens of native species on the hillsides capture the attention and the spirit of the season so much better?

It just needs to be given the chance. Leave off the gardening in these places at least and trust what the land can do to restore our will to survive the urban rat-race.

Spring offers the chance for those who look carefully to note small changes in colour and shape both on the close up and the landscape scale. The speed of change is such that in a real sense each day is the last for a year that you will see it just as it is.

Mountain greenery? Well, yes but the man from Bradford and the man from St Helens were better.

And anything's better than Upland Brownery
