Heh, you should see the size of the blocks here in Salt Lake City - much 
larger than in most cities, especially in the central part of the city.

Nice; it looks vaguely like the David Austin gardens we visited (but 
obviously very different), might have to add that to our itinerary on our 
next trip.

Along with Kew Gardens, which will be my next move.  My wife and stepson 
tried to take the train there last time we were there, but there was a 
problem that kept the train from Amersham from getting into town.

I think the best we saw, though, were the gardens at Hill House.  It was 
a nice, slightly rainy day when we were there.
