In the garden

Most British houses have a garden and many British people spend a lot of time in it. Most gardens, even small ones, have flowers and a lawn. Many British houses have front gardens too. If you don't have a garden, it is possible to grow flowers and vegetables on an allotment, which is a piece of land rented from the local council.
