Believe or not, 43 million Americans are gardening. That is about one in six. Gardeners, of course, come in many varieties. Not surprisingly, most of them are people who live in the suburbs, and enjoy planting flowers, or maybe a small vegetable garden.
The average age of gardeners in America is about 45 years old; they usually fall somewhere in the middle class. But the fastest growing groups are city dwellers. Urban residents are finding ways of gardening even in their crowded areas. Many go to large public gardens, as a place designed by the city for garden, and you can actually ranch your own plot.
Still other people use their balconies or roof tops, wherever they can find the space to plant small patches of green.
無論你信或不信,有4,300,000的美國人是園藝師。大約占了所有美國人的六分之一。當然,園藝師分很多種。而且他們大部分都是住在郊區(qū),熱愛種花,經(jīng)營小蔬菜園。
美國園藝師的平均年齡在45歲左右,他們通常是滑落到中產(chǎn)階級。但這最快增長的人群是城市居民。城市區(qū)民正在尋找一種在有限空間中進行園藝的方法。很多人會去面積較大的公共花園,因為那兒被城市設計成花園,而且你可以經(jīng)營一塊屬于自己的一小塊地。
再者,其他一些人利用他們的陽臺或屋頂花園來增加園藝種植面積,只要可以用來增加綠量的空間都行。
