This blog traces the blurring of class divisions as traditional local taverns & village greens of earlier eras evolved into Commercial Pleasure Gardens, Public Parks, & Outdoor Sports sites. These venues became gathering places to mingle with neighbors & strangers. Here people could exchange news; argue politics, meet lovers; play & watch sports & games; make business deals; eat & drink; watch entertainments; & promenade to see & be seen.

Welcome

Focusing mostly on the history & art of plants, gardens, & landscapes plus the changing lives women, I put together several blogs, different in the particulars but similar in the essentials.

Honored to have you here - Welcome!
