  PEOPLE have been gardeners in Britain for hundreds of years.They love to put on their old clothes and get their hands dirty in the back garden on a Sunday afternoon.

  Most people in Britain have small gardens at the backs of their houses and sometimes at the fronts of them too.Even a person living in a tower block(高层建筑)will have a window box for a few flowers.

  British gardens are not like Chinese ones.A garden in Britain will mostly be made up of a lawn(草坪).Along the sides of the lawn will be flowerbeds where people grow roses, daffodils(水仙)and tulips.There will also be bushes and small trees.People keep their gardens very carefully.They mow(割)the grass every week.As soon as they see a weed(野草), they take it out.

  They work very hard in their gardens, but they like to enjoy them too.In the summertime, when the weather is warm, they like to sit in them and eat their lunches or read newspapers.Young children make mud pies(泥团)in them and get very dirty.The older ones use the lawn to play football on.Sometimes the grown-ups even join in!
