Does anyone actually play homescapes? This question has puzzled many gardeners over the years. In a society where anything you can dream up in your garden can almost certainly be bought, it’s hard to see how anyone can escape the trap of buying and playing with garden toys.

It seems that it’s something new and different now, though people have been playing with garden toys for hundreds of years. Back then they were made of wood, not plastic as it is today. People played with the wood just as they do today, and some of the earliest gardenscapes had a real influence on culture. The Romans built their houses around natural features, and the Egyptians used gardens to make impressive monuments.

So, why is there such a fuss about gardenscapes these days? My suspicion is that it’s all a big joke. Everyone knows that gardenscapes are a waste of time. They look nice; they look like nature should really be a boring grey place, but most people don’t give it a second thought before they go and play with their children or with their grandchildren. In fact, many people buy houses with beautiful gardens, thinking that their life is somehow more complete because they have them.

Gardenscapes make people feel special. They give you that feeling that you belong somewhere else, that you’re on an island, and that your little corner is some kind of exotic place where strange and wonderful things happen. It makes you feel like your garden isn’t your oyster, that you can control what it does and when it does it. That your world is ruled by laws of physics and nature. It also gives you a chance to forget about everyday problems and stresses, to take a break and enjoy your time, to think of your garden.

And yet, it’s a world full of weirdos, complete with tacky celebrities trying to sell you something they call “homescapes”, tacky businessmen trying to sell you a fancy digital camera or something called “green energy” that sounds cool but is pure bunk! And so many people still don’t understand why I can’t stand gardenscapes. It’s like calling your living room an apartment. At least that’s the way I see it.

Like I said, the thing is, gardenscapes are great. They bring a certain joy to your life. And even if they’re not for you, at least you know that they exist. And I’m pretty sure that if you’re reading this now, you’re either an aspiring gardener who wants to make homescapes or someone who doesn’t even have any idea what a gardenscape looks like (honest, who’s exactly in between?)

If you’re an aspiring gardener, though, please do yourself a favor and stop wasting your time on those dorky designs you see on the internet. Go out and get some soil, some plants, a couple of pots and a greenhouse. Learn how to build a greenhouse and you’ll be off to a great start. Homescapes, meanwhile, are great fun if you ever want to get serious about gardening.

But if you’re just playing around and aren’t planning to move on to something more substantial in a few years, don’t worry. Enjoy your homescapes. It’s great exercise, great fun and it lets you explore and learn at your own pace. Who knows, maybe your talent will lead you to something more substantial in the future – like – a real house, maybe?

In housescapes, as in real life, what you see is what you get. A beautiful little two-story cottage with a porch that overlooks a beautiful green yard, perhaps? Or a lovely, beige bungalow in the woods with a swing set in back? Or a cute little cottage on the shore with a lovely, glass-fronted windows that open up to a lovely little pond?

There are many different kinds of homescapes, too. Some of them are simple – two-story huts in the woods, for example. Other homescapes are larger, like a summer home in a small town. They can take on many shapes and many purposes, too.

If you’re looking for the answer to the question, “Does anyone really play homescaping?” you can’t go wrong with a bit of research on the Internet. There are many great website resources dedicated to homescaping, and finding the perfect house for you, your family, and your budget should be a snap. Enjoy!
