Gardens: Biblical and Philosphical Themes

You can read a version of my Christians in the Modern World Scrapbook assignment:

Gardens: The Flowering of Biblical Truth, Philosophical Thought and Human Invention

here.

The task was something like to pick 5 items that allow for the exploration of some philosophical themes and to write a short commentary on them.

As a person born in Welwyn Garden City I feel this quote from your essay somewhat appropriate in describing me.

"The dream of Welwyn Garden City is the combination of garden and city: the wild and natural, and the civilised."


However I feel most who know me would feel your conclusion was probably more accurate.

"Anyone who has been to Welwyn will know that the reality sadly falls short of the dream. The vision is unfulfilled."
