Is the area you live in quite green?

Well, where I live, each property is required to have at least two acres of land. We don’t use killer chemicals on our lawn, so there’s some dead grass, but it’s natural. We have a flower garden, an herb garden, two vegetable gardens, and assorted smaller gardens all scattered around our lawn. I haven’t really tried my hand at gardening but my mom is quite skilled.

Yes.

It’s more green now that this place has opened.

@gailcalled – What a lovely place!

@jellyfish3232 Cool! My mum wants to do some vegetable gardening as well haha.
@gailcalled Goodness! Your area is sooo beautiful! I love it! :D
@aprilsimnel That is such a good thing. Brooklyn bridge is gonna look more cooler now :)

Its brown and tan with a little green mixed in. No bbq’s, no fire works, no fires of any kind allowed until it rains again, and again.

We have the largest lawn in our street, maybe even the block.

Yes,it is lush,with lots of water too.:)

Yes, I live in a very small town and it’s quiet and woodsy and beautiful.
We’re moving next year, and I’m really hoping that we’ll be able to find a place with a similar vibe.

I live in a rural area. Not to describe it too well, because it has specifics that if someone I knew came across this they might guess and I’m careful with my Fluther identity. I love rural areas so much more than cities or suburbs, even.

Yes. I have a green lawn in back that leads to the woods, and I have woods in between the neighbors amd myself. I have cedar trees in front that are green all year.

Oh, and the street I live on is lined with trees, and as you drive up the branches seem to lean in from either side (I think there is a name for that?). When you turn on to my street the temperature drops a good 5–7 degrees.

Not at all. Most yards have desertscaping for the front yards and whatever for the backyards, mostly attempts at clever colored rock zen designs. Palms are planted here to invoke the idea of “Oasis” living but they don’t provide shade. We’re lucky to live in an upscale subdivision that has swaths of grass on the perimeters and citrus trees planted all along them. They’d be wonderful to sit on and read or whatever except that other people use them as dog pee areas :(

Where I live is basically Tarzan’s jungle with a town built on it. Woodland everywhere you look, no heffelumps though ;¬}

I live in the Garden State, so yes, lots of green :P Out back of my house is an 87 acre farm. I love being able to look outside and see trees and fields instead of houses and buildings :)

Yes, it is intensely green here. Everyone seems to have some sort of a landscaping company to keep their lawns in tip top shape. It is beautiful, but there is nothing natural about it.

Does not get much greener or lusher than where I live. Forest for a back yard, garden and wetland for a side yard and river 3 blocks away I can raft in…not to shabby in my book!

My immediate environs are a bit of a concrete jungle but a short distance away is the River Kelvin with walkways and cycle tracks leading to parks and to Loch Lomond and the Campsie Hills.

Right now, due to late rains my area is still quite green, but, by the end of the month the hills will turn brown. Yes, lots of trees and a major river in my foot hill community, but, also this week is the first week of 100 degree temps out west where I am.

This area is a low mountain ( about 200 ft. level ) mix of different species of Oaks, Pines and Madrone, Manzanita. Spring is spectacular, mid to early fall, hot and dry, but plenty of shade and mountain runoff in the icy cold river.

I meant to say “2000” ft. level. haha

@Coloma Thought so ;)

Yes, lots of trees and grass. Down, at the bottom of our street, are pastures and farm land. We live in a very new community at the very edge of the city. It will be nice to see when the neighbourhood plants/trees mature more. It’s the closest to living in the country I can get at the moment. My city is quite green when it comes to trees and grass.

I want to live on a nice country acreage some day.

Yes, in a formerly rural, residential sort of way.

Well, it’s decent, if you go in the rich areas. Otherwise it just has concrete and weeds. But weeds are still green! And concrete rocks.

I live in a not so bad area, most people do have nice lawns. This one guy in particular who lives on my street would probbaly win a Nobel prize. He’s always watering something. Plus he has awesome flowers. His lawn kicks.

But yeah, you gotta go up the ladder a little more to see some bitchin verdure and weeping willows.

We do have a bike trail that goes through several cities, and ends in Montréal. On the outskirts of town, if you follow it that far, we got real nice natural greenery, and some waterfalls. Looks especially cool during Autumn.

Not really. I’m in Phoenix, Arizona so it really is a lot of desert. More like tans and browns instead of greens especially since they recommend people go with desert landscaping on homes nowadays as opposed to lawns. Helps conserve more water in a place prone to droughts. I can drive just a couple of hours north, though, and see nice green forested areas in Flagstaff and around the Grand Canyon.

How’s this?

We’ve got 200+ acres of corn, wheat and soybean on the property we live on, plus 3 acres of yard that needs to be mowed and 6 very large trees. There are woods and a campground just 1½ miles from us and many other farms with corn and soybeans.

Yeah, pretty green here.

It’s pretty green where I live. My yard, though, is the wrong type of green, having been overrun by the frightening-weeds-thorns-and-poison kind. However, I’m a few minutes from the Rolling Green Hills Of Appalachia, so it makes up for it.

Germany is very green. Usually there’s plenty of rain, even in summer.

Today things are so lush and verdant that I wouldn’t be surprised to see orchids growing in the woods

I am preparing to weed between the flagstones this morning.

Surprisingly yes it is, considering I live only about 4 miles from the centre of the 3rd biggest city in England. There’s a lot of green space here.

Well, I live in the jungle.

Thanks for all your answers everyone :D
I loved seeing and knowing where you live is green. Some beautiful places.
