At first glance, comparing a garden's sensibilities to fashion trends feels like a stretch, but Margaret Dyson, Director of Historic Parks in Boston, has done her homework. She explains her analogy so well, it fits. Her study of important gardens and landscapes shows that the notion of what's "in" and what's "out" in gardening is as fickle a phenomenon as what's "hot" and what's "not" in fashion.
In gardening, as in fashion, some of us prefer subtle hues and lines while others delight in vivid embellishments. It's a matter of taste. Gardens in and around Boston have been and remain no exception to this rule of thumb, green or otherwise.
