A concrete jungle: The area where trees and gardens once planted their roots, concrete stands and blocks their view.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a follow-up blog post to my previous story about the Arcueil allotments<\/a>. You remember Gis\u00e8le’s garden. What I liked best is this little basket and its broom. Not sure why you would need this really, but it’s quite cute.<\/p>\n

The Concrete Jungle<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yet, the allotments I showed were \u2014 just a few months ago \u2014 twice as large and the East part of the gardens is now concealed behind a makeshift fence. Thank God, the beautiful cherry tree at the end of the garden is be kept.<\/p>\n

\"Concrete<\/p>\n

Beyond the fence, trouble is brewing over Paradise. The concrete jungle is gaining grounds. Cheery trees don’t stand a chance. For 1960s lovers, there was a song like this about a little garden in the centre of Paris<\/a> which was turned into a real estate development.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Great mullet and moustache, Jacques<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Concrete<\/p>\n

Gis\u00e8le<\/a> is looking beyond the fence. Where gardens once were, one will have car parks and concrete. It makes perfect sense. Global warming is at our door, temperatures are rising, pollution is killing us, hence more cars, more roads, more concrete, more car parks. “It all makes perfect sense, expressed in Pounds, Shillings, Dollars and Cents”, Waters would add.<\/p>\n

\"Concrete<\/p>\n

Wait a minute, there is a glimmer of hope! The town hall has extended parts of the garden towards the South, along a narrow strip of land. Tough luck, those pine trees became infested with processionary caterpillars<\/a>. Guess what? They are here because of global warming. QED. Hence more cars etc. Because in these climes, only the pests will survive. Might as well kill all other kinds of life and dwell in little artificial oxygen bubbles might we not? Makes sense.<\/p>\n

The Pinewood Sheds<\/h3>\n

\"Concrete<\/p>\n

So new allotments are being built and some of the gardeners are to be relocated in newer pinewood sheds.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Far more modern than those derelict Chestnut tree sheds which were built in the 1940s aren’t they? Except that in 70 years from now, pinewood will be rotten and the above Chestnut tree sheds would still be there. Chestnut tree wood is indeed one of the strongest in all weathers, and no varnish is needed, it just doesn’t rot.<\/p>\n

The chestnut is the most useful tree in the world. Considering the importance of chestnuts as a high carbohydrate food source for thousands of years, and the beautiful, rot-resistant wood that is used from everything from vineyard stakes, fence posts to siding and bridge timbers, and was a major source of tannin for tanning leather, is there any tree that provides this range of uses and value?<\/p>\n

Chestnut the most useful tree<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What I like though is that the new sheds are meant to look absolutely uniform and those gardeners immediately customised them.<\/p>\n

Repurposing<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Old windows serve as greenhouses.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Old shoes as flowerpots.<\/p>\n

\"Concrete<\/p>\n

Isn’t that little snail cute? Marie-Line is from Guadeloupe, one of the islands in the French West Indies.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The good\u00a0thing is that there are still some gardens around. How long will\u00a0they survive? Isn’t it time we did away with all that concrete and replaced it with greenery and cool\u00a0down our cities. Each time I cycle past the Jardin d’Acclimation I can feel\u00a0immediately a 1-2\u00b0\u00a0Celsius\u00a0temperature difference. Think about it. What we need is not more air-conditioning. Bring back the trees!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
