A Love of Gardening

1 “If you look the right way，you can see that the whole world is a garden.” These words come from the author of the book The Secret Garden，first published① in 1911【1】.At that time，only the very rich in Britain had gardens.Very soon after this，homes with gardens began to be built.This is what started the British love of gardening！Today，millions of② Brits like to say that they have “green fingers③”，with around half the population spending their free time gardening④【2】.

【1】此处为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰The Secret Garden。

【2】that引导宾语从句，作say的宾语；with around...gardening为“with＋宾语＋宾补”结构，作伴随状语。

2 For many people in the UK，their garden is their own private world.Each spring，children plant sunflowers⑤ and wait to see which one is the tallest.Expert⑥ gardeners⑦ know just the right corner for roses，and others spend hours trying to grow perfect vegetables to enter⑧ into competitions.And while many Brits like nothing better than spending their Sunday cutting the grass，some are happy just to sit under the branches of the trees and enjoy the beauty⑨ of the world around them【3】.

【3】while作并列连词，表示“而，然而”，其中like nothing better than...为“否定词＋比较级”表示最高级含义。

3 But in cities，limited space has led to people looking for new solutions.Those without outside space can rent⑩ small pieces of land on which to grow things.Today，there are over 4，000 people in London waiting for such pieces of land.One recent idea has been to turn rooftops⑪ and walls into private gardens.These gardens have helped make the cities greener【4】 and improve⑫ air quality.

【4】此处为“make＋宾语＋宾补”结构。

4 As well as being good for the environment，gardening is also good for the soul.What other free-time activity allows you to be at one with⑬ nature and create more beautiful living things? And if you’re in any doubt⑭ about this，take a moment to reflect on⑮ this line⑯ from The Secret Garden：“Where you tend a rose...A thistle⑰ cannot grow.”
