green dreams: gardens

in my opinion the first page was really well written then after that it just became confusing. the line that says: "Every garden is a replica, a representation, an attempt to re capture something" really stood out to me from the rest; to me that was the best written part of the entire passage. this line brought me to a sort of understanding of what a garden really is: just a representation of a landscape that is man made. it serves a similar purpose as a painting or sculpture in its ability to mimic a real place in nature but in the end is just as man made as any work of art.
the idea of the reading that is most important the idea that a garden is still natural. a human can only decide where to place each plant but in the end nature is a part of the job. for example, a human can plants all the seeds in a garden and let them grow in any way and nature will always finish the job of watering, giving sunlight and letting plants grow into any shape or form they wish but the same human will have total control over a painting and the end result of the painting will have nothing to do with nature in the way it is completed.
