| Q is for Quad Man |
In the weekend's Telegraph's Gardening section was an article written by Tim Richardson celebrating the Great British Lawn entitled "An A-Z of Britain's love affair with the lawn". For the letter 'Q', see the first photograph, Tim writes about the 'Quad Man' and by the end of the 12 lines states that "the sward at Worcester College, Oxford, is generally considered to be the finest lawn in Oxford or Cambridge and therefore in Britain, and therefore the world". The next two photographs show the lawn as it is today and why it has justifiably received such an accolade.

I was once told a story of when an American visitor asked the secret behind a fine Oxford lawn.
ReplyDeleteHe was informed all he had to do was sow and tend and mow lovingly for 200 years! Complete rubbish of course.
You guys seem really up to date with modern turf management.
Thank you Roger, this lawn has only taken 303 years!
DeleteI was just browsing through the internet looking for some information and came across your blog. I am impressed by the information that you have on this blog. It shows how well you understand this subject. Bookmarked this page, will come back for more. infissi pescara
ReplyDeleteSo you want a perfectly manicured lawn with clean edges, sharp hedges, colorful flowerbeds and maybe a few topiaries and water features thrown in? Anyone can have a beautiful lush landscape with a little artistic vision, a lot of work, and the right lawn garden tools. sprinkles
