What are your thoughts about early Greek gardens and how were they were used?

Hi,

Making A Greek Garden and a Greek life

Many who visit Greece come away with the dream of living there permanently, but only a rare few achieve it. Amateur botanist Mary Jacqueline Tyrwhitt not only made the move, she reclaimed a barren Greek hillside and created a gem that still thrives. Gardeners, Grecophiles, or would-be expatriates will all enjoy her charming book "Making A Garden on a Greek Hillside" as it guides readers through the Greek year.

For another, somewhat less calming look at the expatriate life in Greece, check out Willard Manus's "This Way to Paradise - Dancing on the Tables", an account of life on Rhodes starting in the 1960s and continuing through the mid-1990s.
