He didn't ask, but I allowed him anyway. It helps when the Admin. has 38 years in Landscape Hort. and 6 years teaching it. Ancient landscapes are one of my interests. Nick, the UK has some of the finest examples in the west. There are countys in Britain that were entirely planned as to what was planted where. The modern discipline of Landscape Architecture had it's foundings in the UK.

His site boarders on acceptable, so w'll leave it.
