The recent rain has done wonders for the gardens, especially given the fact that it had been unusually dry. We were pleased to accept the invitation to have a look at a friend's garden (see photo). It is spectacular. She lives in a typical tenement building where each set of eight flats share a common stairwell and a common garden space located behind the flats. Think of a large square where the perimeter of the square is ringed by four story tenement flats and the interior of the square is divided into sections, one garden section for each stairwell.
Our friend has lived there for close to 50 years and has turned what otherwise would be grass into a large flower garden. Since none of the other residents of the flats in her stairwell have taken any interest in the garden, our friend is single-handedly responsible for the hundreds of beautiful plants.
