I’m always a bit shocked going out to the new residential developments out west. New builds east are the same.
Very few are interested in their gardens these days, and developers just haven’t put in decent green public spaces.
Lotta space problems with how close the houses are though. No way you could easily grow much between them. Can only really speak to what you see out the front (lotta synthetic grass) but it’s boring as shit. Spend all that coin on a place and just say fuck it rocks, plastic and yuccas why not.
Honestly if I were to stumble home drunk in one of those suburbs I’d get lost and walk into the wrong house.
Gardening America, the philosophy of ugly gardens
pretty much seen similar here too

Watching the botanist discuss the motives behind plant choices has made me see bunnings in a total different way
selling plants they know will die in this environment so people keep having to buy new plants
