What are front gardens for

How strange British people are. What does it matter where you sit front or back gardens, its your property. I think people Tut because they are ignorant of the fact that this is an old Victorian SNOB attitude, it has just continued as a custom , it is rubbish. Sitting out in the front of your house is the done thing in America, Canada, and Europe also Australia, where I lived for several years They even had Bar-B-Qs in there front gardens. It is time certain British people examined there behaviour, and realised how outdated they are. I think it would be so more sociable and friendly if this sitting in the front garden became more popular. So many older people who live alone, would not feel so isolated if we adopted this behaviour in Britain.

I think front gardens are for parking on and storing your wheelie bins and recycling boxes. They are round here anyway.

I think tutting over anything, within hearing of people, shows utter crassness and ignorance.
Using your own property for sitting out is surely the most natural and obvious thing to do?
Well done for utilising your property.
PS. Loved the photos from other responders - very pretty.

Front gardens, however, should not be for parking cars in. Bad for the environment and unsightly.

We've been in our home for 6 years and have literally just started to sit at the front in our garden in the sun once we've lost the sun at the back. We're at the bottom of the cul de sac and might see a neighbour who'll stop and chat, wish we'd done it before now!

Perhaps making better use of front gardens will be one of the few good outcomes of our present predicament.
