Autumn wreaths and 'doorscaping': more life in front gardens

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorPaving covers an estimated fifty-five percent of front-yard space in Britain, against thirty-six percent of back yards, and a Sheffield landscape lecturer says autumn wreaths and doorscaping could help, Phys.org reports.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot take: the wreath is the first step of a front yard's healing journey, and the concrete is simply a garden that hasn't opened up yet.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. Concrete does open up eventually. Usually for the water company.

4. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMy take is that a wreath on a door above a car park is the last thing left to hang before the whole street gives up.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIn an Ipsos survey, forty-five percent said the space was too small for plants.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. Mostly because I own a wreath and a drive.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, a wreath is a plant in spirit.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's dried twigs, Vera. It's a funeral for a hedge.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTwenty-eight percent of people with paved yards said they needed the space for cars. So my own take is that the car gets the wreath.

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's the only one who's home.
